i believe everything god does is magic. but there’s no proof miracles (or God) exists, and until there is, anything you think is a miracle is most likely magic.

I think faith and magic are the same thing. I ever said God is using faith to poof universes into existence, raise the dead, conjure lightning and fire etc. What exactly would you call this?
By the way, humans do not work magic, don’t be silly. Even in the fantasy of magical forces, magic is not exclusive to humans. The true definition of a sorcerer is a non-human practitioner of magic, a magical turtle for example.

You couldn’t be more wrong……do you read the bible?
If you weren’t so busy trying to disprove something you don’t understand, you would know that faith literally means TRUST. it’s beacause of people like you, who don’t have any FAITH (trust) in God, that he dosen’t do stuff like that anymore, beacause he expects you to take earlier examples to heart that if he created everything, then whatever he does is reality and can really make anything possible if he wants to.
Here is some things for you to think about, scientists say that at some point in history, when earth was still a lifless rock of compressed dust pulled together by the sun’s gravity, water just randomly appered here. they have no proof of how that happened. here is something else, when Jesus was crucified by the roman goverment for falsified charges of blasphimie, official roman record keepers (who weren’t even jews or christians, they were pagans), said that he existed and rose from his guarded tomb three days after he was executed. and when he did so, the temple split in half, just as jesus said it would. That was all official records made by the roman government.
