Yeah, just like a little girl survives days buried in rubble after the Haiti earthquake, like a plane crash where everyone dies except for one person, like a man falling 1,000 feet off a cliff and only suffering minor bruises, like a tornado carrying a man several blocks away from his home and surviving, like someone having a gun to your head and once they pull the trigger, the gun jams and you don't die.

Walking on water and raising the dead are completely different monsters compared to any of what you listed. In fact, I think everyone dying except a single person, in a plane crash, is less of a '''''''miaracle''''''' than, say, every fucking single person living.

Just sayin'.

The only reason you feel this way is because these events were actually witnessed and put through the media. In other words, if these events had never happened, and I told you that a girl could survive days buried in rubble, you'd call me crazy and mock me just as you are mocking Jesus being able to walk on water. But, we know that days after the Haiti earthquake, a young girl was reported to have been found alive after being buried in rubble for weeks. Science states that you can't survive more than 3 days without water, so a young girl doing it while being covered in rocks and debris for over 2 weeks is unheard of. The same way a man walking on water is unheard of.

No it doesn't. You can go at least a week without water under normal circumstances. Under abnormal circumstances, such as being trapped under a huge pile of rocks and being hungry and motionless (and therefore using up very little energy to do things like walking, running, or eating), you can definitely survive a lot longer. Hence, fifteen days. It's very unlikely, but not impossible.

Comparing that to a man walking on water, raising the dead, turning water into wine, and then being killed, coming back, and going into the sky is absurd. 100% absurd, in fact.

Unlikely things happen all the time, but this is expected when there are 6.5 billion people for unlikely things to happen to. A "miracle" is just a notable deviation from standard.

What are the sources for this exactly?

so a young girl doing it while being covered in rocks and debris for over 2 weeks is unheard of.

If a girl survived for 15 days under debris no water, and we've never had a case where a girl survived 15 days under debris with no water, we would examine the circumstances and determine the reason or cause.

If it truly had never happened before today, then I would imagine this would not change the fact that surviving 15 days under rubble with no water is highly unlikely, but is possible under X circumstances.

If the argument is that something that rarely happens HAPPENS, all things are possible, regardless of how irrelevant it is to the first thing, then that would be quite a silly argument.

Now there is of course always a possibility that anything could happen, as we do not have ultimate knowledge of the universe, but... reasonably? No. This is why reasonable disbelief exists.

If someone survived 15 days under rubble with no water one time out of the tens of millions of other times someone HASN'T survived 15 days under rubble with no water, you wouldn't start telling people "you will survive 15 days under rubble with no water." You'd say "your chances of surviving trapped under rubble for 15 days with no water astronomically small."

This is of course assuming that your assertion that you can't survive 3 days without water is correct. Which I'm pretty certain it isn't.

You're the only person I've ever heard say you can go a week without water. You might be confusing water with food. If you can explain how to came to that conclusion, I'd like to hear it.

Every website I go to states 3-5 days. Furthermore, Haiti has a humid tropical climate which would have led to a quicker dehydration and death than normal regardless if she was moving or not.

I don't know, maybe Wikipedia, licensed dietitians on YouTube, just about every website that comes up when you search "how long can you survive without water"?

I just read another article about it and it says the girl had some Coca-Cola while she was buried.

This website lists various possible survival times for going without water in different climates, and with different water levels, and this is a chart showing the average temperature in Haiti over a given year. Even in the hottest months, the average temperature doesn't break 90F. The chart lists a plausible survival time as nine days, likely assuming that you're going without water because you are lost somewhere. This does not take into account that she was immobile, and therefore did not have to use any water for physical activities, and also did not eat and therefore did not have to use water during digestion. Fifteen days, while surprising, is hardly impossible.

The BBC article says the girl drank bathwater to survive...

Fucking bathwater, how does it work?

P.S.
1) If you kill innocent people then society considers you evil (premise)
2) God kills innocents through natural disasters (premise)
3) God is considered evil by society (Modus Ponens using 1 and 2)
