I believe things happen that can't YET be explained by science ... But I don't believe they are the workings of any deity.
I have no reason to believe in miracles.
Nope.
I would have to see one to believe in one !
In order to have miracles we'd need to have a god. OK, for the moment, let's have one. Further, let's make him omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent (we could make him omniverous too, the way he gobbles up donations) and, with these attributes has control over his creation.
Then we get a situation that requires divine intervention. A miracle. And, lo, the miracle is given. Does that imply that his plan wasn't so perfect in the first place? Or does it imply that he took his eyes off the road while he was driving? Apparently even a god with all those "omnis" can have an Oops! moment.
It's more realistic to accept that, as Walt pointed out, things happen naturally even though sometimes we haven't learned the reason why it is so.
Not particularly. Amazing things happen to people sometimes, and that's great, but so do a lot of terrible things. Chance just dictates who gets the high cards and who gets the lows.
I do not "believe in" things but I am convinced by the evidence for things.
There has never been any evidence for miracles ever. Please do not respond with a logical fallacy.
I do believe in miracles! When my Son came home from Desert Storm alive and well, I believe God heard my prayers.
Miracles as in a super natural/God did it? No, If there are god driven miracles, then God would have healed amputees, and he never has. If you mean not-understood/unexplained things that have happened, then yes, but they are not God driven, there is a natural reason.
Yes....but I think they're rare these days, from my perspective anyway.
A man walks up to a skeptic and states “I can fly unaided by
technology!” . . The skeptic, after hearing this supernatural claim, thinks the man is completely nuts . . . What he does next SHOULD be the first response to such a claim -
“prove it.” He says
So to prove it, the man takes the skeptic up to a 5 story
building and they look over the edge . . . The building sits facing the ocean and is in the shape of a horse shoe. It is a gusty day and now and then they are buffeted by the wind.
The man claiming to be able to fly strips down to nothing
and steps to the edge.
“Here I go.” Just a millisecond after he jumps, the biggest
gust hits him and knocks him up into the air sending him to a crash on the top of the building. Every antennae on the building had snapped off from the wind and the skeptic had also been knocked back considerably only stopping when he hit a huge air conditioner.
“See, I told you I could fly.”
“Oh yeah?” Says the
skeptic . . . “Do it again.”
So, can he fly? Would/ Should another request for proof be
needed? Would you ask him to prove it again another day without wind, or another building somewhere else in the city or would you simply be a supporter of such a claim? The reason for this man surviving is obvious, but some things that seem miraculous are not. Do we simply just believe without being skeptical?
Should miracles be subject to a request of “Do it again”. Are miracles simply that which has not been completely vetted? We should understand that we may never know based on our current technology?
Is it a miracle what i put my body thrue with all the partying and crazy stuff i did when i was young ? Maybe but then i see people driving around looking at tablet computer eating a burger all at same time then crash and kill themselves or someone else
Isn't that a movie with Jennifer Garner? Its coming out today in theaters today?
Absolutely.
But I have noticed that not everybody is capable of realizing what they are witnessing when they see them.
For example, it makes perfect sense to me that God may not heal an amputee. For someone who does not believe in a god, it would truly be a miracle if He actually behaved in a manner deemed appropriate by the person who ascribed their own preferential characteristics to such a non existent being---and yet their argument for His non-existence rests on His behaving in a certain way if He did exist.
"Homie don't play that."
Do you believe in miracles?
Where you from?
You sexy thing
I wrote the song because no one else did!
Your welcome
I like to call them happy coincidences. They will never happen when you need them to, but sometimes, on that really special and rare moment, this rule is broken.
Yes, I believe in miracles.
