Friends, let me probe a little further if you don't mind...
>Naturalistic presupposition is the best presupposition
>available to mankind up to this era.
Perhaps it's your (and folks at Jesus Seminar's) preferred presupposition, but I don't see why one can claim an epistemic high ground ("best presupposition") by adopting such presupposition. By definition, it rules out any possibility of a supernatural realm, a conclusion that cannot be proven in any way.
> We observe no
>miracle today.
"We"? There are people who claim to have experienced miracles in our world today. Besides, one simply cannot rule out the possibility of miracles in the past or in the future, even if we don't see them in the present -- which is a question in dispute.
> Alleged miracles in the Bible are more
>probably literal inventions or simplistic explanations
>of natural phenomena than historical facts.
Are you assuming your own conclusion here?
