The question infers that Midnite already has faith. This is a question about that faith. Not whether God exists. It is not a bullshit question, it is quite valid. i cannot see where this question equates with your examples.

i watched my mother come out of death from a terminal illness and make it another 11 months. She wasn't ready to die just then, i (her only child) was about to give birth to her second grandchild. She lasted until he was 8 months old. Miracle, or sheer will?

Tom, what if you simply answered the question without all the added commentary? i think that when the thread was started, it was to see if anyone had a "miracle" story to tell. If you don't like the "bullshit" question, then don't answer...now, it appears that you hijacked a thread because the topic was not up to your standards.

As far as Mom is concerned.....that was sheer will. She had been told that she would have no children at all before she was pregnant with me...she wasn't about to miss a grandchild's first word.

i tend to think that everything happens for a reason. At this moment, i can't think of an example of a miracle...possibly because i've been reading about the existance of God.

I, for one, believe that miracles do exist. It's a miracle that i didn't reach across the counter at the bank and strangle the teller, when she told me that i could not get $1000 from my account without 2 forms of ID......but i could get $999. Devine intervention is all that saved her purdy lil neck, and i was given a laugh when she actually answered the question, "Why do i keep my money in the bank if i can't get hold of it?" LOLOL
