And absolve us of any responsibility? We should be so lucky.
Originally posted by whodey I think you are falling into the pit of explaining away the miraculous.
If you believe in God then you must buy into a miraculous God. I suppose you could explain away every miracle recorded in the Bible other than Creation. In fact, even if you don't believe in God I think life can be viewed as miraculous. So my question is, do you believe in miracles? If so, to what degree? Are there limitations?
Obviously, the definition of 'miraculous' is a point of contention here.
But I object to your claim that one must buy into 'miracles' if they believe in god.
