Basically you are saying that the miraculous (an anomaly of the law of cause and effect as we know it) is incredible. Yet the big bang theory (the most accepted) says that the universe was created from nothing - a contradiction to the law of cause and effect. And the steady state theory (the second best) says that matter is continuously being created from nothing. The law of cause and effect is itself just an assumption based on our observations of the 12 billion year old universe that have all been made in the last few hundred years. It seems pretty arrogant of others to think that by observing the universe for a few hundred years we can understand cause and effect well enough to rule out that the creator of said universe can't bed the rules a little.



The testimonies were written down by eye witnesses in most cases. Within the lifetime of those were could object if they saw things differently. While most people could not read them, they were read publicly in front of large crowds and were often memorized. I think it may also be arrogant to assume an illiterate people to be gullible when they demonstrate themselves to be superior to us by regularly memorizing large portions of text so that they can discuss and debate it. And if they were so smart why didn't they just learn to read instead of taking the more difficult route of memorizing? Because paper was really expensive.
