Max, I am trying to help you. I am trying to break your argument into a logical structure instead of in rant form.
Here is how I came to your argument:
I understand you to be saying here that it is illogical to think resurrections happen - why because when people die, they stay dead. The broader point that you are alluding to is that there are certain laws that nature follows and they do not operate apart from those rules. This is equivalent to saying that miracle cannot happen.
The only reason that I can think of for you to thinking these eyewitnesses are not reliable is that they are claiming things happened that you think cannot happen. (if you have other reasons - please let me know). I would bet you would consider them reliable if they did not speak of healings, resurrections, etc.
The only support that I can see you have to discount the bible is given above - that miracles cannot happen.
No one is claiming that the church has abused it's power. But the historicity of the bible has nothing to do with it.
Therefore --
- Miracles cannot happen.
- The bible contains stories about miracles.
- Therefore the bible is not historical.
Please show me where I error. I think very structured and logically, and it helps me (and discussions) when arguments are structured. Let's make that our goal for now - it will clear up a lot.
