Okay. No offense to the morons---I mean the people I referred to as morons. 🙂
I was more just speaking generally, and you can't tell me that there aren't people that highjack discussion.
So the basic premise for the post that appears at my blog is basically that, instead of Jesus producing food out of thin air, as those people passed that plate around n light that nowhere do the Gospel authors state that Jesus produced food out of thin air...
The miracle of the loaves and the fishes was exactly that, a miracle; that which cannot be explained naturalistically. Proof: Mark 6:48-52, in the account of Jesus miraculously walking on the water we find that the disciples had every right to be "amazed in themselves beyond measure" when Christ fed the five thousand with five loaves and two fish.
"Now about the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea, and would have passed them by. And when they saw Him walking on the sea, they supposed it was a ghost, and cried out; for they all saw Him and were troubled. But immediately He talked with them and said to them, “Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.” Then He went up into the boat to them, and the wind ceased. And they were greatly amazed in themselves beyond measure, and marveled. For they had not understood about the loaves, because their heart was hardened."
It is obvious that Christ is trying to get these guys to understand that He is exactly Who He claims to be, the Son of God, who has authority over all things. The disciples' hearts were too hardened to understand that which occurred right under their noses!
