Do you believe in miracles?

[wmrs2]

I agree with Thorne that the miracles of our forebearers can be almost entirely explained through scientific inquiry. As Arthur Clarke wrote: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

Knowing why a rainbow happens does not lessen its beauty. In fact, I think knowing the enormous odds of not only our planet developing in such a way to sustain life but the fact that you (individual) exist, is pretty darn miraculous. Is it the hand of G*d? In my opinion, it doesn't matter. I'm just thankful to have people like you in my life.

Well said Euryeia. To a cave man fire is a miracle. A greater miracle is that the cave man understands by rubbing sticks together fire is made. Knowing what to do with the fire is even a greater miracle. Understanding the scientific method is also a miracle. Finding faith is God is a miracle. Knowing how to make man's situation better by using God is a greater miracle. The amount of evil in the world does not mean we should not believe in God. It does mean we need to use God better just like the cave man learned to cook food with fire and warm himself. Let's do that with God. Let's use him better, as He is a process and the way. To not believe in God because everything does not go our way may not be real smart.
