Fortunately I don't see how the main ones below could ever be substantially or credibly challenged. I think these will always be a matter of faith, whether you are for or against them.

However, I think it is possible that some additional manuscripts or evidence may turn up, like I said before, a "Da Vinci Code scenario", that may challenge some of our historical beliefs on certain miracles, and we may need to consider our response in that case. I don't anticipate any problems however as my faith is not in the historicity of any certain miracle nor in the accurate historicity of their being recorded in scripture either.

Thanks

John
