Terminology. Besides impossible coincidences in reply to prayer, many activities are described as miracles rather inappropriately. In these times the phrase "miracle", like many more, has been devalued by overuse by the push, e.g. "miracle cure", "miracle escape" or "wonder baby", when all they mean is that the big event was fascinating but unexpected.
What's Science? Science is the reasonable study of the World because it is. It profits by examining evidence, applying purpose to what it sees, and drawing conclusions. Science should not refuse awkward facts, such as wonders, simply because they do not participate in the present theories about how the World operates.
Of course evidence for a miracle should be tried, exactly like some other evidence. But it is poor research to begin with your results and write off something that issues them. Is that not the same error the Church has frequently created, as mentioned above under "obscurantism"?
B. Does an Explanation Eliminate a Wonder? Understanding how things work shouldn't
un curso de milagros prevent us experiencing the wonder of them. I know very well what a rainbow is and yet I find it positive each time I see one. I love the story in the Bible wherever Lord uses the range as a sign he won't flooding the World again. Genesis Phase 9 Verses 13 to 17. I see every spectrum as a note of God's presence in the World. Research describes how he does it.
Sometime people state "Nothing But" as if those phrases remove all price from a thing. Properly, a five lb note is only report with printer on it. But we realize it's indicating beyond the paper and ink. The works of Shakespeare are also only report and ink. So are the publications I have written, but most people price usually the one set more than the other. A miracle does occur when God places a unique indicating on an occasion, frequently surprise and impossible one, but always the one that may have an actual significance for those affected by it.
C. Is God Sporadic? If he created the World and established the laws on which it'd run, such as Seriousness, why would he do things which separate these very regulations? He doesn't! He's consistent because just he really knows his laws. We understand just part of God's World. "Now we see uncertain insights in a reflection: then we will see experience to face; today I know partly, but I'll know even as I am known." I Corinthians Part 13 Line 12.
