How do all religions manage to make up false miracle stories that their followers think are believable?

People say if it never happened, then the stories couldn't have been said and noone would believe it. But if the miracles never happened (most realistic), how do you mange to create these myths to be believed by most people?How do all religions manage to make up false miracle stories that their followers think are believable?
People, particularly children are rather gullible by nature. Children will believe just about anything their parents or other authority figures will tell them. It doesn't really matter if it happened or not; what matters is to whom the story is told and how it is told. The story gets passed down from generation to generation. Witnesses of the ';miracles'; believe they are miracles because they can't explain the occurrence. People who live 2000 years ago had very little scientific knowledge, so it is likely that most ';miracles'; were actually natural processes, but no one could yet explain them with science. Keep in mind that these miracle stories are often embellished over the course of generations.How do all religions manage to make up false miracle stories that their followers think are believable?
A miracle is something that is not naturally possible and so must have occurred because of supernatural intervention, or anything caused by supernatural intervention, even if it is naturally possible.





Every religion seems to make claims of miraculous events. If one religion鈥檚 claims are right and that religion鈥檚 god exists, what is the explanation for all the other miracles in other religions? Unfortunately, any attempt to rationally explain away the miracle claims in other religions opens the door for similar explanations in the first religion. And any attempt to explain away other miracles as the work of Satan simply begs the question, namely, the truth of the religion in question.

Because these stories were mostly written down long, long after the event, 70-100 years afterwards. You are dealing with people who had to come up with some explanation of seemingly miraculous events. Stories that are passed on by word of mouth become very exaggerated, altered etc even in the space of an hour or so. You can demonstrate this very easily in any classroom. So that's how it happens. People want to believe in a good story. It is more comfortable than challenging popularly accepted stories.
I have observed that it is possible for someone to make up a lie about an event and to have lots of people who did not witness the event nor who have been presented with any evidence of the event to believe the lie told to them and then to repeat it as truth to others.





So these miracle stories could all be false. On the other hand, sometimes people tell us things that we did not witness and that we do not have any evidence for that are true. Some of these miracle stories may indeed be true. That is not hard for anyone who believes in God to believe. That we exist at all, even if by a ';big bang'; of some sort, is in itself something of a miracle -- where did those gases come from for the big bang, they miraculously appeared somehow is the ultimate answer.





Of course, I have no way to know which miracle stories are true and which are not, hence, I decided a long time ago to base my decisions about religion on truth I can find in the moral teachings and in the prophecies of the prophet(s) and not on any claims of miracles. I think really every one would be better off to approach their religion this way, you end up knowing the true teachings of the religion when you are not relying upon claims of miracles to defend your faith to yourself or others.
all Miracles are stated in Glorious Quran.


the weakness lies in people,they have difficulty to Worship Allah Alone which is not in physical form,they need something tangible to worship,to satisfy their respective beliefs,or they worship their messangers and prophets ,imams,etc..believing to please Allah Allmighty..


Allah Condemns and Rejects these kinds of people and instead Reminds them of Severe Retribution


';Absolutely, 鈥楢l Deen Al Khales鈥?(pure religion) is due to God alone. Those who set up idols besides Him say, 鈥榃e only worship them so that they would bring us closer to God.'; 39:3


';This is because When God alone was called upon you disbelieved, but when others were mentioned besides Him you believed. Therefore God鈥檚 judgment has been issued; He is the Most High the Great.'; 40:12








To conclude, believers should implore God alone, as the act of 鈥業mploration鈥?is undoubtedly a true expression of Worship.
Because none of the miracles are myths. They have happened and they are in different cultures and religions and books. It's like you say Moses didn't exist or Jesus was never born. How do you know that, were you there 2000 years ago? That's why we read books and pass on our information to our children.
Miracles inside the Quran are not made up stories , we didn't witness it but we totally believe in it .


Miracles outside the Quran are very doubtful , maybe some are true maybe not but it's not necessary if I believe in it .
firstly, what is a miracle?? ur answer wud pretty much determine ur view.. a miracle doesnt need to be sth that happens 'magically'... u knw wat i m saying ryt?? i mean, the Sun has been a large ball of flame all these yaers.. it has nevr reduced in size... how?? isnt this a miracle?? the earth rotates in space with no support... aint this a miracle??
Most of them are things that, in any other context, would seem wholly unbelievable. I have no idea why people make an exception for things like the Bible when it presents ideas that would otherwise seem ridiculous as true.
';But if the miracles never happened (most realistic), how do you mange to create these myths to be believed by most people?';





Look around right on this forum: people will believe _anything_, no matter how bizarre.
It is an combination of profound brainwashing and wishful thinking


If one acquire these to to certain level, all, containing absolutely logical explanation fades away
people have week minds and for some reason believe totally ridiculous stories in order to be SAVED
