And you start with the predetermination that the miracles did happen. That's not being objective Freddy. Your flippant dismissal of the Jesus Seminar isn't going to cut it.

You need to learn how to draw a logical inference. I grant the possibility of miracles, not their necessity. Your hero Funk denies the possibility, as his mind is closed on the issue before he addresses the evidence of the witnesses. That's predetermination, albeit of a negative sort. Being open to the possibility of an event isn't the same as predetermining whether it did or didn't happen. It's a logical, not a semantic difference.
