They don't

Oh, the examples I have provided in the past are anything but BS, yet equally impressive. Still, they go unanswered and never reasonably rebutted

Actually "reasonabley rebutted" is a weasel word term. You reserve to yourself the right to redefine "reasonable" as "that which JV-12 can accept".

Zeitoun, Egypt 250,000 Egyptians see the Virgin Mary on top of a coptic cathedral over the course of 20 different nights in the summer of 1968.

Considering that in this day of Satellite photogrpahic counting capabilites that we cannot agree on how many 100's of thousands attended the Obama inauguration or the Tea Bag event on the national mall, then I don't think that you have anything in the way of evidence to verify that there were 250,000 people there, much less that they all saw the same thing.

Sorry, you do't have any actual data to support that claim. Frankly the reason you cite 250,000 is because you don't have 5 consistent irrefutable witnesses, so you engage in the LOGICAL FALLACY of Appeal to Popularity.

See LOGIC has formal rules - and within those rules are a host of Fallacies many of which you have invoked in the above logic: Post hoc (Confusing Cause and Effect), Appeal to popularity, Hasty Generalization, Common Cause, Red Herring, Burden of Proof. appeal to Authority, Appeal to Consequences of a Belief, composition. and Ad hominem

Just to start out with.
