Its simple, after the Israelites lost Jerusalem and were taken into bondage once again, that dinged their national EGO. So they doubled down and went to the other extreme. They completely recast their secular history, converting it into a miraculous fiction. When they did that they left clues of what was there before as well as their own mistakes.
Faulty would be logic. The captivity was prophesied long before it happened.
The people who put the Son of God through a trumped up trial and murder, people whose father was the devil, were quote capable of exaggerating their history as a people.
They were incapable of changing a jot or tittle of Scripture actually that Jesus fulfilled and showed and said was impossible to fail and correct.
The Israelites are not a miraculous people.

Well, the bible clearly says otherwise, despite the unfounded hate speech of some.

Prophecy has nothing to do with the scripture being reorganized by the kind of men who killed the prophets!

Jesus pointed out Scripture is from God. The kind of men that kill Prophets not only didn't write it but can't even understand it.

Jesus never said God wrote the scripture. If the Jews wrote more scripture today, they would say that Jesus was a deceiver and caused God to let Israel scatter yet again, bit soon the Jewish messiah will come and smash the Christians.

He came to fulfill Scripture. He verified it was true. The bible makes it clear God inspires Scripture. It doesn't matter what wicked men say at all.

Impossible for science.

Yes. When it comes to studying reality, it's kind of hard to keep into account the imaginary.


That never stopped them from making stuff up though. They invent imaginary events like some little common ancestor thingie that was our relative.

It's not imaginary, if you have the evidence.

We all have evidence. The trick is how we chose to interpret it. The religious regimes of false origin sciences are godless speculation governed by narrow minded selective criteria.
So narrow that all things spiritual as well as the entire ancients records of history and all of Scripture are demeaned and ignored. Only what is in the little locked ridiculous religious box will they consider 'real'! All else is imaginary! Hilarious. It's about time we had a revolution and renascence of enlightenment and freedom. Viva la verite!

0% of which, is the result of a single event.
It does not need to be nor would it be expected to be a single event. Not if there also was great upheaval and movements and changes after the flood, and even to some degree before.

Yeah, and trolls and scoffers!
The point being: science has no reason to include or keep in mind anything for which exactly zero reasonable evidence exists.

Leprechauns have the exact same kind of evidence going for them as gods do: mythological lore.

Do you disagree?
Is there objective verifiable evidence for anything supernatural?
No? There isn't any for leprechauns either.

So why would science have to include anything supernatural? Or leprechauns?

Do you disagree?

You all try to use the same old trick.
first you limit yourself to the natural sciences and to the belief system of naturalism, and then you argue that anything beyond that is fantasy because it doesn't fit in your limited views.
No, of course it doesn't.
It's called SUPER natural for a reason.
So where does that leave your (not just you) opinion on these matters?
It leaves it baseless.
Baseless, because you ignore or dismiss any knowledge or evidence of the matter.
You don't even weigh and assess it, because you have nothing to weigh and assess it when you ignore and dismiss it all.
But that's your free choice.
But it's delusional to pretend you know better, when you choose not to know at all.

One thing i think we all can agree about is that the supernatural is quite elusive and not "normal", hence "PARA normal".
It seems however that it used to be less abnormal in old times, but there are also circles today where the occult (which means hidden) is an important part of life.
But it's usually secretive.
