[ QUOTE ] modern science saying they can't happen. [/ QUOTE ] LOL [/ QUOTE ] I don't see why this is a shock to you. None of us has ever seen or heard any evidence of these things happening except through religious traditions. Isn't the burden of proof on you to prove that these things didn't happen? Why should we believe the words of the Bible if we don't believe it to be divinely inspired?

[ QUOTE ] Why should we believe the words of the Bible if we don't believe it to be divinely inspired? [/ QUOTE ] Define science. [/ QUOTE ] I like to think of science as knowledge about the physical world learned through falsifiable testing through the scientific method. But it doesn't matter if I say science disproves them or not. Have you heard or seen credible evidence of any of those things happening in the past 500 years? We make the assumption that the physical laws of the universe haven't changed in the past million years. You do not, or at least you believe that God bent these laws to suit his whims in the past. Since we don't see evidence of this bending today, doesn't it fall on you to show us that this is even possible?

[/ QUOTE ] Science can NEVER prove that something didn't happen. The atheists who say otherwise are morons. Only MATH can prove something never happenned. For example no one ever discovered two cubes that added up to a third one. However, Probability and Statistics, can be used to show that the information we have about ressurections and speaking bushes is such that when someoneone claims to have witnessed such an event, the odds are overwhelming that he is mistaken. The odds shrink if he supplies us with evidence. But the original statistical evidence is so overwhemingly against him that his own evidence is unlikely to make a big dent in the statistical odds. Certainly the existence of the Bible is not strong enough evidence to accomplish that task.

Science can NEVER prove [/ QUOTE ] You're right about science (man I love trolling these atheists), but you're wrong about probability - for much the same reason.
