The Pope's Circular "Logic"

From the article on his book about Jesus' childhood:


"Catholics should see belief in the virgin birth and the resurrection of Jesus from the dead as "cornerstones of faith" because they are undeniable signs of God's creative power.

"If God does not also have power over matter, then he simply is not God," Benedict writes. "But he does have this power, and through the conception and resurrection of Jesus Christ he has ushered in a new creation.""

In other words, believe in the virgin birth and resurrection in order to convince yourself of god's power.  That's circular logic -  no thank you.  

Show me evidence of virgin births and resurrections and based on the strength of the evidence I may believe you.  

Stories are not evidence.
