* Matthew 21:19: Jesus withers the fig tree - for having no figs when it was not the season for figs!

* Luke 5:6: miraculous draught of fishes - a calling forth of fish.

* John 2:9: Jesus turns water to wine - Like Dionysus , god of Wine before him, and celebrated by "the Church" on the same day that Dionysus did it.

To a child, all of these are weather and nature related wizardry by any standard, as are the following foolings with Mother Nature and the Heavens in the Bible.

* Joshua 10:13: Joshua stopped the sun, well actually the earth had to stop rotating which went unrecorded anywhere on the planet and no one died elsewhere in the tsunamis.

* Isaiah 38:8: sun went backwards 10 degrees - earth rotated backwards.

* Matthew 2: star in the east brings wise men to Jesus. Wizards show up to honor Jesus. Where was the Rabbi?

* Matthew 27: darkness for 3 hours at crucifixion. Sun drops out of picture or heavy clouds obscure. Could not be a solar eclipse as a full moon during Passover does not permit that phenomenon. No one else on earth notices this either.

A few more..

* Matthew 14:20: Jesus multiplies loaves and fishes - manifesting things that aren't into things that now are.

* Matthew 15:37: Jesus multiplies loaves and fishes again

* Matthew 17:27: Peter gets coin from mouth of fish to pay tax - no one had change?

* Acts 2: tongues

* Acts 5:5,10: Ananias & Sapphira struck dead by Peter’s word - nice way to treat the brethren for not handing over the money to the Church. But what does "struck dead" mean? If he struck them, it's murder, if he mentally zapped them, it's murder.

* Acts 9: light from heaven: Saul’s conversion - manifesting light being

* Acts 12: angel releases Peter from prison - where was the Angel before I got arrested?
