Any plausible scientific explanations?
That's an interesting avenue that I've contemplated, but it seems to me the non-Christian can use the same reasoning for Christian miracles.Gman wrote: Only demonic ones most likely... 2 Thessalonians 2:9
No, it's not. It was on the news in dozens of countries across the planet.Or it is a spoof...
Of course.. No surprise there. Many also accused Jesus of having satanic powers in his day. Luke 11:14-15 Actually I would be surprised if they didn't whenever they saw a miracle.smiley wrote:That's an interesting avenue that I've contemplated, but it seems to me the non-Christian can use the same reasoning for Christian miracles.
For example, the Muslim can say that the resurrection of Jesus was something Satan from the Qur'an did to fool people.
I believe a majority of them are fake or are altered in some way. As an example you never see the entire spoon under the mouth of the idol. It simply could be bent to drip off that end.No, it's not. It was on the news in dozens of countries across the planet.
Okay - so how is your reasoning any better than theirs?Gman wrote: Of course.. No surprise there. Many also accused Jesus of having satanic powers in his day. Luke 11:14-15 Actually I would be surprised if they didn't whenever they saw a miracle.
No reason to assume that. It was a public event, that occured more than once, and was recorded on cameras. You're just applying an unreasonable level of skepticism because doing otherwise would contradict your philosophical presuppositions.No, it's not. It was on the news in dozens of countries across the planet.

Oh please. This clearly isn't true. You can see the whole spoon beneath the statue's mouth in 0:08. For crying out loud, millions of Hindu followers participated in the event, and even a group of scientists went there to investigate it. It's not a hoax.As an example you never see the entire spoon under the mouth of the idol. It simply could be bent to drip off that end.
Why do you assume that a Christian Worldview and science are incompatable?smiley wrote:That his reasoning is no better than the Pharisees whom he chastises.
In any event, the point of this thread isn't to figure out how this phenomenon can fit in the context of a Christian worldview, it is to try to offer a plausible scientific explanation if one can be given.
Wait, they aren't? Don't Christians have to take some things on faith? Isn't the idea of somebody raising from the dead contrary to science?Canuckster1127 wrote:Why do you assume that a Christian Worldview and science are incompatable?smiley wrote:That his reasoning is no better than the Pharisees whom he chastises.

oh.Canuckster1127 wrote:Science as a method is in no ways contrary to Christianity nor incompatible.
Methodological materialism extrapolated out from science with the assumption that there is no God at work in the universe is not science; it is a worldview and philosophical framework that most definitely is not compatible with Christianity.
I'm curious as to why a professed Christian is confusing the two.
That's all.
I am...not. I don't know how you got to that conclusion.Canuckster1127 wrote: Why do you assume that a Christian Worldview and science are incompatable?
Oh please. I can just smell sarcasm here. Really, I take offense at this. No matter how hard it is to believe, the fact that I argue against Christians doesn't make me a non-Christian.Canuckster1127 wrote: I'm curious as to why a professed Christian is confusing the two.
