What should we believe about miracles?
79% of Americans say they believe in miracles. But should they?
Dictionaries consider a "miracle" to be an event or action which apparently contradicts known scientific laws. Sometimes we experience a miracle of coincidence, where highly improbable but not impossible events occur (a friend calls you unexpectedly, just when you most needed to hear from her). Other miracles are actual violation of physical laws (a friend calls you on a telephone which is disconnected).
Both kinds occurred often in the biblical record. But many remain unconvinced. As J. S. Mill said in 1843, "If we do not already believe in supernatural agencies, no miracle can prove to us their existence." If you haven't experienced a miracle, you may deny that they are possible. But on that basis, why should a man living in a warm climate believe in ice?
If God created the universe, can't he alter it as he wishes? What do you think? For more, I invite you to godissues.com today.
