It doesn't seem to avoid Peter's option #3. All of what you mentioned is well within misinterpretted phenomena, especially after a few generation have passed.------------------

I see your point.I'm not sure how strict Peter intended 'within the laws of his creation' to be, so I should just phrase what I am thinking. Everything mentioned in your refutation is within a very narrow range of human experience. Its easy to add a detail and call it supernatural. Such is the hallmark of mytholgy worldwide. I just don't see the significance I guess.------------------

​

Perhaps you could also provide a few examples of how the events mentioned could have had details added to them to make them seem supernatural.

Well....... the burning bush. This is an easily observed event. Add 'but was not consumed' and you've got a supernatural event.... the plagues of Egypt. Scaled up natural disasters. All you have to do is increase the scale.... the dead rising. Not all that uncommon really, in that until recently death was not as easily diagnosed as one might think.------------------

I understand that you believe this on faith, but what of the rest of us. What evidence can you present to back up this claim. As per my own understanding, the evidence is stacked heavily against you. Thus, your claim that the author had first hand knowledge doesn't hold.------------------
