Miracles prove god exists
Miracles have not been demonstrated to occur, and the existence of a miracle would pose logical problems for belief in a god which can supposedly see the future and began the universe with a set of predefined laws.
Most alleged miracles can be explained as statistically unlikely occurrences. For example, one child surviving a plane crash that kills two hundred others is not a miracle, just as one person winning the lottery is not.
Theists fail to adequately apportion blame when claims of their god’s infinite mercy involve sparing a few lives in a disaster, or recovery from a debilitating disease, all of which their god would ultimately be responsible for inflicting if it existed.
