Miracles
How come, with the advent of recording materials (audio, video, photography), we have not recorded any miracles? With the number of cell phone cameras out there, we have the ability to catch the rarest things on film, but there have been no miracles recorded. Why is that?
-
What about every time you turn on a lamp? Check mate atheists.
-
Because miracles don't exist. To say otherwise is ether ignorant or deceitful.
-
Vampires don't appear on film, who says miracles don't either?
-
do me a favor and go outside with a camera. take a picture of anything that pertains to the natural order and post it in your own thread.

2 отв.Изменено (Circadian Wolf): 3/1/2013 11:51:38 AMMy dad witnessed a miracle once. He and some friends were on holiday driving up a really precarious mountain road when one of his friends said he needs a shit and can't hold it in. They stopped but since they were halfway up the mountain and there wasn't even any bushes to crap in he did it off the side of the cliff. As he finished he paused and said "what am I gonna wipe my ass with?" And right as he said it, a roll of toilet paper floated by on the wind and he plucked it right out of the air. True story.

2 отв.Who says we haven't? I've witnessed miracles, met several people who claim they have and have even seen videos and letters speaking of miracles that occured. St. John of San Francisco and Shanghai--a local Orthodox Saint from about 50 years ago, went around working several miracles, healing people, claming the tides and doing all sorts of things. And if you find the people that experienced them--probably really old by now--they would assert 100% that they experienced miracles. The problem is that all this evidence is anecdotal and we have a tendency to doubt them until we experience it ourselves.

1 ответWith all due respect for the theistic community, this is one of the reasons I count myself as an atheist. From religious writings (all of them) God, or the gods used to be everywhere. The way things are written, its like you couldn't walk ten feet without a holy intervention. Then, as the scientific method, and reliable recording devices, were developed, its like the supernatural is less and less involved in our lives. My personal theory is that miracles, and the religions that say they exist, are the imaginary play-pals from childhood. As we grow older as a species, we need them less and less. Eventually (I hope) we will grow out of them and accept the mantle of our responsibility.
