How Many Times Do I Have to Tell Mr. Lundahl that I DO NOT Think that Miracles are Impossible?
Kevin R. Henke

Towards the end of Lundahl (2022r), Mr. Lundahl continues to mispresent my views on miracles. He states:
“And I must admit I was somewhat impatient to get from a seriously warped discussion of logical fallacies and "low probability" alias (after how Henke deals with it) impossibility of miracles to actual discussion of history. [my emphasis]
Mr. Lundahl, where in any of my discussions with you have I EVER said that miracles are impossible? Although I’ve explained it many times, Mr. Lundahl still does not understand that I DO NOT SAY THAT MIRACLES ARE IMPOSSIBLE!! Especially, see Henke (2022ae). Mr. Lundahl does not understand that I do not give miracles a zero percent on my probability scale of past events (Henke 2022b). My assigning of miracles to a low, but non-zero, probability is not an “alias.”
I thoroughly deny that miracles are impossible simply because I am not omniscient. I cannot declare that no miracle has ever occurred or will ever occur anywhere in our huge Universe. This is also why I am an agnostic about God or gods, and not an atheist that denies that they exist. Mr. Lundahl needs to stop misrepresenting my views. He hardly knows me at all. He’s not a god and he cannot read my mind. A very low probability is not the same thing as an impossibility. Even Mr. Lundahl’s hero, C.S. Lewis in Lewis (1960, p. 2), recognized that important distinction (Henke 2022ch). Perhaps, Mr. Lundahl should actually study what Lewis (1960) says before he further comments on the book.
