I get the impression you don't much care for the "irrational".... And like Doubting Thomas, require convincing proof of the things you'd like to believe.

It certainly seems that way - not unlike many of our correspondents on the science threads.

No, not unlike the entire OT and good part of the NT, where magic ("miracles") were used exclusively as "proof" of divine power necessary for others to believe.

Like the part when Peter's shadow passing over someone is enough to heal them. It says, people would line the streets with sick. Do you think if any of this were true that Christianity would have failed in Israel?
