Miracle-spotting: a supplementary question?

Question

Thanks to everyone who answered my question "would you recognise a miracle if you saw one?". This was the central question of a play I've just seen called "Underneath the Lintel". Most people assume anything claiming to be a miracle has to be a "Ta-dah" moment, a presentation of some kind. In the play though, the central character starts off with something odd - a library book returned 113 years late - that leads him to another clue, and another, and ultimately to believe in the existence of a mythical character "cursed by God" to walk the Earth for all time. My supplementary question then is: Would you find it easier to believe something inexplicable if you found it yourself in stages, or if it was presented to you as a fait accompli?

Answer 1

to believe a miracle , i would want evidence to prove that it did not occur by chance. less dramtic miracles ...could easily happen by chance.

Answer 2

Why does this question sound like you haven't seen one? Is a miracle when I ask for help with the bills and my bills get lowered by $150 on month? Or when I say I want to live and my cancer changes to something else? Or when I ask for a house even tho I only live on $750 a month and they find a program so I can by this place. Maybe we don't see the everyday miracles. So I say I believe either way.

Answer 3

I just got 2 pts,,, It's a miracle... I do belive that miracle do happen on a daily basis though..

Answer 4

Miracles....
the devout christian believes that god will help find his glasses
but god wont rescue 6 million devout jews about to suffer horrific and painful deaths.

Answer 5

I WOULD GO FOR THE STAGES, YOU WOULD HAVE MORE TIME TO DIGEST THE MIRACLE AND ACCEPT IT, YOUR PLAYS SOUNDS GOOD THOUGH
