 the reliability of the Gospels. How could the feeding of the 5,000, if there were that many people around who were non-believers, how could that ever have gotten off the ground? The historical consensus is that it's fake. It didn't happen at all. It's just a made-up story. What about oral tradition and oral testimony? I've had people tell me this, that they've encountered demons and stuff like that. Their testimony has absolutely no bearing whatsoever. If you had something where it was realistically possible, then eyewitness testimony would be the least reliable form of evidence. But in this case, it's not a form of evidence. In worlds where magic exists, there are people who can demonstrate that. Obi-Wan, Gandalf, and Hermione will be able to demonstrate that they can do what they think they can do. Even if science couldn't explain it, we can prove that it happened. The sad thing is with Christianity, it's completely indistinguishable from the imaginary because that's what it is.
