Who's more likely to misunderstand something and call it a miracle? Atheists or Christians?

Answer 1

This question was meant to be profound, but instead it's moot. Atheist do not believe in miracles.

Answer 2

Given that positive atheists are very nearly dogmatic about any word that even hints at any religious conception of anything, they'd probably run screaming from any attempt to use the 'M word.'

Somewhat less dogmatic atheists in a scientific discipline - ones who study astronomical phenomena for instance - might resort to the word miracle, to describe a rare and pretty nebula (or some other unusual interstellar phenomenon they've been waiting a lifetime to observe.) Such a person might not intend to mean it in the most theological way possible, but miracles are miracles, right?

(A diamond is still a diamond, whether it is the result of compressing Permian coal for 400,000,000 years or a High Pressure laboratory.)

The word exists. It is part of the English lexicon. No need to be afraid of it, or jump up and down about it.

Answer 3

Christians

Answer 4

Christians.

They are continually looking for miracles and odd happenings subconsciously and there has been a tendency of christians saying, "it's a miracle!" so yeah... Christians...

My question in response to yours is "Do athiests even believe in miracles?" If not, then you've answered your own question...

Answer 5

Christians, of course, because we know there are many mysteries out there, and that miracles happen. Athiests believe in nothing, so miracles would not be logical. Pretty sad for them, huh?

Answer 6

A Christian-because an Athesist would not see it as a miracle just as something possitive that happened to them. For to believe it as a miracle, you have to believe there is something bigger than yourself out there.

Answer 7

There are things that are understood but because of the extreme odds against it happening, the experts (doctors, scientists), claim it as a miracle.

Answer 8

Atheists probably don't believe in miracles.

Answer 9

your question is fairly stupid. your asking which team would misunderstand a miracle? properly i extremely dont imagine athiests remember on miracles in any respect. so why would you ask it in any case? and please dont say that all people yet an athiest will be uneducated. we are knowledgeable sufficient to carry close what we remember on is the reality. in case you descided that you want to placed us Christians down for something else of your existence, then fantastic. have relaxing cus we are able to not in any respect pass down.

Answer 10

Atheists definitely. They misunderand the beginning of the world as we know it, and instead of acknowledging the Creator, God Himself, they pass it off as a big bang miracle.

That is ludicrous to me, but that is what most atheists believe. Everything we see, they say, was created out of chaos, and on its own.

Never mind that it directly opposses the second law of thermodynamics as revealed by science....supposedly order came out of chaos, when observable science itself says the opposite is the order of nature.

Things tend toward chaos.......things tend to fall apart....but no the atheist says, this universe of order came out of utter chaos....

What a Miracle.......
