Re: In the year 2507 - there will be no religions
Peace worshipyourself
I find your pattern of reasoning somewhat in the wrong order. You make claim to the dregs of history and performers as a basis for the belief in miracles and then you follow it up with established world religion beliefs regarding miracles that have been cited in scripture. Completely two different kettles of fish.
We have no reason to believe in the conjuring tricks that you cite about the likes of Yuri Geller et al. Nor does our faith require us to believe in them. It requires us to believe in miracles that have come from God, through the prophets of God. None of the people you cite from the contemporary world make claim to being prophets, and even if they did they would be liars due to clear evidence our finality in the person of Muhammad (SAW).
You are also misled about the source of miracles we don't believe Moses (AS) did the miracle from himself rather we believe it was God through Moses (AS).
You are also misled about the reason for miracles. Miracles you will find in scripture will never be performed for entertainment however the other people are just doing it for that. Miracles are meant for a reason either to provide evidence to support the prophet of his mission as one of truth, but that is the lesser reason, the other reason is to provide a defence mechanism when the plan of God must be completed. In some cases prophets were killed but that was wholly in accordance to the plan of Allah (SWT).
Miracle birth of Jesus (AS) = evidence of connection with God Healing powers of Jesus (AS) = evidence of connection with God The Ascension of Jesus (AS) = to save Jesus (AS) The cooling of the fire of Abraham (AS) = to save Abraham (AS) Spider and nesting pidgeons = To save Muhammad (SAW)
The list goes on ... you will find the miracles fit in these two categories.
When it comes to explanations ... That a miracle is not explanable then upon closer inspection nothing as a phenomenon that is occurring all the time can be explained either. Gravity exists because we measure it's effects how or why it exists is a question left unanswered by science.
We don't have to go far to understand that belief is an integral part of humans and without it we can't even work the science that most faithless people profess to.
My point is that there is no need to believe a seemingly miraculous event is proof that a God exists, when we can find other explanations as to why something happened.
Many religions use "miracles" as proof that their God exists. If we are going to accept that miracles are possible, then we must accept that all miracles are possible, which leads to a wonderful conflict between the various True and One and Only religions.
I take it you believe the Aztec religion is false. But how can you say the Aztec religion is false when it is backed by claims very similar to the ones your religion is founded on, ranging from Creation of the Earth to giving miracles to its followers to providing a lovely afterlife for them when they die?
