Q

Argument for miracles as evidence for God

A

Strengths:
1. There is no scientific reason for the miracle happening, so it must be caused by something outside of nature, and God is the only thing outside of nature.
2. Muhammad would not have been able to write the Qur’an without help from Allah, proving that this miracle was real, so God must exist.
