Jason Engwer said...: I highly recommend that people listen to this. It's well worth your time. These men are New Testament scholars who have studied the historicity of miracles and have a lot to say about the subject. It's much better than the average discussion on this topic.; Thursday, April 14, 2011 at 12:01:00 PM GMT+1

What are you gonna do, give up your family and just tour the world constantly investigating the endless claims of miracles? Only desperate apologists would think atheists and skeptics were under such ridiculous burden. Sort of like Mormons who say you can't dis the Book of Mormon until you've been to South American and made sure there's no archaeological evidence for that book. And if apologists say email and phone interviews with miracle claimants should be sufficient, then the apologist's standard of evidence has been made absurdly low in the effort to prove modern miracle claims true (how could evidence ultimately coming through email or phone interview, ever be so good that it left no room for reasonable doubt?)...at the expense of making apologists look as gullible as anybody following Benny Hinn. And if the Steve Hay's comment that email or phone interview should be good enough, then he condemns all miracle claimants who try to provide more evidence than email or phone interview to prove their miracle claim. And if he doesn't condemn them for doing that, then he must allow the investigator to accept the invitation and investigate the medical file or other evidence that wouldn't come from email and phone interview, thus implicating the cost-prohibition argument I make, thus rationally justifying the skeptics who deliberately disregard documentation of miracle claims. Nobody has enough time and money to investigate properly, and nobody except desperate apologists will say the skeptic with wife and kids should give up them and his job and just tour the world investigating every stupid fairytale deluded people conjure up.; Wednesday, August 27, 2014 at 2:50:00 AM GMT+1
