    Surely if it was a miracle there’d be some supernatural residue left over. Holy ectoplasm.

        Isnt it though? If i say i own a car but never carry car keys, my home has no garage or on-street parking spot, that is evidence that i dont own a car.

        There’s a complete absence of evidence for everything you can just make up.

        I claim that the universe was created by Ralph the Wonderllama who lives on Proxima Centauri B and who owns all albums by Simply Red.

        But hey, no evidence of absence, right? So my claim is valid, right? And you suddenly don’t care how unlikely it is, right?

          And I respect that belief

        Yes, but absence of evidence isn’t evidence for anything.

        It’s wild how many need to find them some scientific method.

        I was only pointing out, in my original comment, that I’m sure around the world people pray/say all sorts of things when a plane is crashing, not just the Christian god. But because they’re only focusing on crashes in the US, they are concluding that everyone prays to god (presumably, the Christian one).

        so you didn’t know which god saved them either. It could be the flying spaghetti monster. (note the existence of this religion is literally based on your statement)

          Neither do you.

          note the existence of this religion is literally based on your statement

          That’s demonstrably false. I made my statement yesterday and religions exist for way over 70 years. Destroyed by pure logic. Checkmate atheist.

          If you want to know what really starts religions, check out Daniel O. McClellan’s book “YHWH divine images” chapter 2. You find the PDF for free just by searching the title.
