The 500 Witnesses


It just shocks me that a Christian will quote this verse out of Corinthians and think that it means anything to a nonChristian:

15:6 Then He appeared to over 500 brothers at one time, most of whom remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep.

Usually the argument will go; "How can you dispute the word of 500 seperate individuals?" The same way I can dispute the existence of Goldilocks even though three talking bears saw her. These are just words in a book! Seriously, if I take that Bible, took a pencil and added a 0 to the end of the number 500 on that page, would you be more impressed? Christians who accept this as evidence would never accept it if it is used on them. Leprechaun Apologetics.

Does any Christian believe any of the following miracles that were witnessed by many people? If a Christian believes the eyewitness accounts of miracles from people written about in old stories then they also have to believe these as well:

The miracle of Fatima where the sun danced in the sky witnessed purportedly by thousands.

Miracles performed by Gagangiri Baba witnessed by many followers.

The miracles of Buddha witnessed by many kinsmen.

The splitting of the moon by Mohammed witnessed by the people of Mecca.

The food miracle by Saint John of Russia witnessed by many landowners.

Perseus turns Phineus into stone witnessed by a wedding reception.
