In parallel with factual science/ human mind
compatible with human and natural existence
3. Philosophy, concept
Behavior and action that is compatible with the
laws of the universe and what they reflect.

But for a claim about life and a creator there
must be more evidence than rational evidence
to prove the claim.

studies and may be lacking data.
Miracles were a main supporting evidence.

by natural or scientific laws
Merriam webster: an unusual or wonderful

31. John, 14:16-17: "And I will ask the Father, and he will give you
another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth,
whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor
knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in
you."
John, 15:26: "When the Advocate (Paraclete) is come whom I will
send to you from the Father's presence--the Spirit of Truth who
comes forth from the Father's presence--He will be a witness
concerning me."[75]
John, 16:7: "Nevertheless, I tell you the truth; it is expedient for
you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not
come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you."[76]
John, 16:12-14: "I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye
cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth is
come, he will guide you unto all truth: for he shall not speak of
himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he
will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me."[
32. ``"Ahmed" or "Muhammad" meaning "the one who
praises" or "the praised one" is almost the
translation of the Greek word Periclytos. In the
Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, and 16:7. The word
'Comforter' is used in the English translation for
the Greek word Paracletos which means advocate
or a kind friend rather than a comforter. Paracletos
is the warped reading for Periclytos.
One of the names and titles of Muhammad in
Islam is Aš-Šafī` (in Arabic: )الشفيع which means "the
intercessor" or "the advocate".[
In John 16:12-13, the Advocate is described in a
similar way to the description of the Prophet like
Moses in Deuteronomy 18:18

lawgiver from between his feet, Until Shiloh

35. 18 I will raise up for them a prophet (Prophet) from among
their brethren like you, and will put My words in his mouth;
and he shall speak to them all that I command him. 19 And
whoever will not hearken to My words which he shall speak
in My name, I Myself will require it of him. 20 But the
prophet who presumes to speak a word in My name which I
have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the
name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.
— Deuteronomy 18:18-20

bruised reed shall He not break, and smoking flax
shall He not quench. In truth He shall bring forth
justice. 4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till
He has established justice in the earth; and the
islands shall wait for His law."
— Isaiah 42:1-
40. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and His praise from the
ends of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that
is therein, the islands, and the inhabitants thereof! 11 Let the
wilderness and its cities lift up their voice, the villages that
Kedar inhabits. Let the inhabitants of Sela sing, let them
shout from the top of the mountains. 12 Let them give glory
to the Lord, and declare His praise in the islands. 13 The
Lord shall go forth like a mighty man; He shall stir up
jealousy like a man of war: He shall cry, yea, roar; He shall
prevail against His enemies.
— Isaiah 42:10-13
