... Christian faith is founded on the virgin birth, death, and
resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. Obviously, a virgin birth and
resurrection from the dead are supernatural events that cannot be
explained scientifically.
... Christian faith is based on eye witness testimony, of which our
earliest manuscripts are very near to the events recorded.
Christians must examine the evidence of whether that eye witness
testimony is credible.
... Christians must have faith that a supernatural explanation is
the best explanation for the events recorded in the Gospels. But
that faith is based on evidence of eye witness testimony.
... For a scientist who is a Christian, there are many events surrounding
the life of Christ that must be explained supernaturally.
Also, that scientist would probably believe in prayer and that God answers
prayer today, supernaturally. On the other hand, that scientist would
not use supernatural explanations every day in the lab or to provide
scientific hypotheses regarding observations in the physical world.
