Borg also states that they do not accept another class of miracles - which statement Adrift omitted from the section he quoted. Unless there is something to suggest Tassman was not referring to the latter type of miracle - and his use of the word "magic" suggests to me that he was - Borg's article supports Tassman's claim.
Adrift quoted the section where Borg said that historians accepted some deeds, but omitted the very relevant section where Borg said that historians did not accept "nature miracles". He made a decision to exclude nearby sentences that are not only explicitly relevant to Tassman's point, but support it.
That's a quote-mine.
