Robert M. Price Quotes About Miracles

• One can believe God capable of anything without believing that he did everything anybody may say he did. One can believe in the possibility of miracles without believing that every reported miracle must in fact have happened.

• Un crítico puede rechazar algunos relatos de milagros como legendarios y otros no, sin ninguna incoherencia, por la sencilla razón de que, aunque uno considere que los milagros son posibles, no tiene por qué considerar que las leyendas sean imposibles. Hay otros factores, literarios e historiográficos, que podrían llevar a un crítico a concluir que, aunque los milagros pueden ocurrir, no parece que en tal o cual caso se produjeran.

• Does it take a blanket presupposition for a historian to discount some miracle stories as legendary? No, because, as even Bultmann recognized, there is no problem accepting reports even of extraordinary things that we can still verify as occurring today, like faith healings and exorcisms. However you may wish to account for them, you can go to certain meetings and see scenes somewhat resembling those in the gospels. So it is by no means a matter of rejecting all miracle stories on principle. Biblical critics are not like the Committee for Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal.
