What is one reason given against using miracles as proof of God's existence?

  1. Miracles ultimately mean God exists

  2. Coincidences or unusual events do sometimes occur

  3. Scientific explanations are never needed

  4. All miracles have natural explanations

The correct answer is: Miracles ultimately mean God exists

One reason against using miracles as proof of God's existence is because coincidences or unusual events do sometimes occur. This means that not every unusual occurrence or extraordinary event can be attributed to a higher power. Additionally, it is important to consider that scientific explanations are sometimes needed and can provide a more logical understanding of such events. Just because a miracle may not have a scientific explanation at the moment, it does not mean that it is proof of God's existence. Therefore, relying solely on miracles as proof can be a weak argument.
