Soooooo....question: If Jesus performed these miracles, how come it wasn't a big deal? I mean, a child born to a virgin? Who heals the sick? Who resurrects the dead? Who can turn water into wine? Who can create fish? And the Romans didn't didn't like, send more people to investigate?

Mysticism was rampant in those days. Claims of miracles were a dime a dozen. The empire frankly didn't care if he was performing miracles.
Lots of reasons. It was a very different time and age.

Yet Jesus was still apprehended by the Romans and not a single Roman of credibility was able to document these miracles? No one besides those who would later write the bible made any documentation of the 500 or so people Jesus brought back from the dead?

That's because there was just the one (Lazarus). Not 500. There isn't a zombie apocalypse where people rise from their graves until the ACTUAL Biblical apocalypse.

Introduction:

The frontrunner reason as to why people don't believe in God or The Bible is due to lack of trust. This is evident all the way back to The Fall. I shall start off this series there.


Its 2013, no one cares about trust, or how awesomely good you become. They want proof of your religion being correct. They want logic and reasoning.

So you're talking about theology then and not any of the old religions based on divine revelation?

in 2013 some people have warped all meaning of logic/reasoning/evidence/knowledge to mean things that have nothing to do with logic/reasoning/evidence/knowledge

see "scientific miracles of the quaran" for an example
