Is there evidence of miracles?

Question

Big Foot, UFOs, Loch Ness Monster...All have pictures/videos that can be analyzed and scutinized?

Is there any such evidence for angels, demons, miracles, etc...?

Answer 1

I'm sure the "evidence" you will be given by believers is not the kind of evidence accepted by the scientific community.

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is.
— Albert Einstein

Take from the church the miraculous, the supernatural, the incomprehensible, the unreasonable, the impossible, the unknowable, the absurd, and nothing but a vacuum remains.
— Robert G. Ingersoll

Saints fly only in the eyes of their disciples.
— Hindu proverb

Miracles happen to those who believe in them. Otherwise why does not the Virgin Mary appear to Lamaists, Mohammedans, or Hindus who have never heard of her.
— Bernard Berenson (1865-1959)

Ye shall have miracles, aye, sound ones too,
Seen, heard, attested, everything but true.
— Thomas Moore, (1779-1852)

A miracle is an event described by those to whom it was told by people who did not see it.
— Elbert Hubbard (1909)

When any one tells me, that he saw a dead man restored to life, I immediately consider with myself, whether it be more probable, that this person should either deceive or be deceived, or that the fact, which he relates, should really have happened. I weigh the one miracle against the other; and according to the superiority, which I discover, I pronounce my decision, and always reject the greater miracle.
— David Hume, (1711-1776)

God, once imagined to be an omnipresent force throughout the whole world of nature and man. has been increasingly tending to seem omniabsent. Everywhere, intelligent and educated people rely more and more on purely secular and scientific techniques for the solution of their problems. As science advances, belief in divine miracles and the efficacy of prayer becomes fainter and fainter.
— Corliss Lamont, (1902-1995)

Miracles arise from our ignorance of nature, not from nature itself.
— Michel Eyquen Montaigne (1533-1592)

Belief in the supernatural reflects a failure of the imagination.
— Edward Abbey

Any attempt at understanding humanity must include an explanation of the hold that supernatural belief continues to have on most of the human race.
— Vic Stenger, Particle physicist; Physics and Psychics (1990) p. 91

Whatever a man prays for, he prays for a miracle. Every prayer reduces itself to this: "Great God, grant that twice two be not four."
— Ivan Turgenev, (1818-1883)

Anyone who seeks for the true causes of miracles, and strives to understand natural phenomena as an intelligent being, and not to gaze at them like a fool, is set down and denounced as an impious heretic.
— Baruch Spinoza, (1632-1677

Changing a rod into a serpent and the serpent back into a rod may be clever magic, but how does such a demonstration prove that Moses spoke to God? If the only thing necessary to prove the truth of an extraordinary claim were to demonstrate an ability to bewilder, there would be no more mysteries to solve.
If a person claims that he can bring the dead back to life, and in proof of that power pulls a rabbit out of a hat, that is hardly a demonstration of the truth of his claim; it is merely an example of his ability in the art of deception. If he claims that he can fly without wings and without the use of mechanical help of any kind, and in proof of his ability pulls another rabbit out of another hat, that is not proof of his ability to fly, but of his ability to lie, and he will without much hesitation be condemned as a faker. The demonstration of one thing has absolutely no bearing in proving the truth of the other, when there is no relationship between them.
— Joseph Lewis, (1889-1968)

A tendency to drastically underestimate the frequency of coincidence is a prime characteristic of innumerates, who generally accord great significance to correspondences of all sorts while attributing too little significance to quite conclusive but less flashy statistical evidence.
— John Allen Paulos, mathematics professor, in "Innumeracy: Mathematical Illiteracy and its Consequences"

All superstition is much the same whether it be that of astrology, dreams, omen, retributive judgment, or the like, in all of which the deluded believers observe events which are fulfilled, but neglect and pass over their failure, though it be much more common.
— Francis Bacon

“We have heard talk enough. We have listened to all the drowsy, idealess, vapid sermons that we wish to hear. We have read your Bible and the works of your best minds. We have heard your prayers, your solemn groans and your reverential amens. All these amount to less than nothing. We want one fact. We beg at the doors of your churches for just one little fact. We pass our hats along your pews and under your pulpits and implore you for just one fact. We know all about your mouldy wonders and your stale miracles. We want a this year's fact. We ask only one. Give us one fact for charity. Your miracles are too ancient. The witnesses have been dead for nearly two thousand years.”
~ Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899

Answer 2

This miracle is a miracle of prophet muhammad saws. The splitting of the moon was demonstrated before a certain gathering who contradicted the Prophet Muhammad, upon him be peace and blessings, in his cause as an evidence of his Prophethood. It happened momentarily at a time of night. Also, there were obstacles which prevented the others from seeing it, such as mist, clouds and time-differences between different parts of the world. Besides, at that time science and civilization were not yet well advanced and not widespread, and, therefore, the observation of the sky was very limited. Last but not least, there was nothing to necessitate that it should have been seen all over the world. It is because of these reasons that the splitting of the moon was not witnessed in the whole world and related in the history books of other nations.

Answer 3

As far as miracles go, the only "evidence" per se from the stand point of the Catholic Church is the lack of any other explanation and the probability that a grace was received by the intercession of some saint (for example the French nun who was inexplicably cured from Parkinson's disease after her community prayed through the intercession of John Paul II for her healing). Obviously the doctors could not explain why she was all of a sudden healed (that is, from a medical stand point). But, as with all things having to do with faith, one is not presented with such irrefutable evidence that one is forced to believe.

So, yes, with some miracles there is evidence... that is, the unmistakable fact that someone who was once sick is now no longer sick and it can not be explained in scientific terms. But this evidence will never be sufficient to force someone to believe in God.

As for angels and demons, ask Dan Brown.

"For those who believe, no explanation is necessary. For those who do not believe, no explanation is possible." -from "The Song of Bernadette"

Answer 4

UFO=demons. Big foot not much proof. Loch Ness is a dinosaur. The majority of Christians I know do not believe UFO's are from another planet they believe they are from another dimension and are most likely a form of demons. Lucifer is the Angel of lights remember. I think UFO's are real just not from our universe. You cant dismiss it as a possibility so you have put forth evidence in you question.

Answer 5

No miracles are not scientific studies, but they have witnesses and you either believe them or not just like the UfO's, Lockness Monster, or Big foot. But miracles are all around us, I personally have seen many miracles, mostly of the healing nature of God, people that the doctors said would die very soon, within months and lived 14 or more years beyond that point or are still alive. Also fixing things with only by touching them. Cars starting that should not have started. But even if you believe none of that I think it is enough just to be thankful for good things in your life as if there was no evil or bad in this world makes you stand out like a beacon of light in the evil world of today.
I also have dreamed the future and many times that future was the very same day the dream happened. But the greatest miracle of all is for someone to hear and believe the Bible and understand these are not the words of just weak men, but the voice of God that speaks secretly and directly to your heart;
2 Corinthians 3:3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
Ezekiel 11:19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
Ezekiel 36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
Revelation 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
Revelation 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
You see when a person is born you must receive a New name and that was why so many Bible people received different names in the Bible was to show this as being true.
Here is a list of some great people that had name changes; Abraham, Israel, Joshua, Daniel and his three friends, Peter, John, Matthew, and Paul who wrote most of the New Testament

Answer 6

If by miracle you mean something that cannot be explained with 'science as we know it today' - yes. But we are NOT talking abourf bigfoot, Nessie or UFPs here.

But a better explanation of a 'miracle' is something that makes man, such a carnal and self-centered and prideful creature, think about the possible presence and existence of God.

It may be a simple as a night sky full of stars, or a rainbow, or a mountain, or a honeybee. Or a cool breeeze on a hot day.

Answer 7

Well lets see now:

Bill Clinton, that's evidence of a demon.

Rosie O'Donnell, Big Foot ( or is that big mouth? )

Every time a baby is born is proof of a miracle.

There is a baseball team in Southern California, they are proof that there are angels.

Four more examples of miracles:

The Grand Canyon

Niagara Falls

Yellowstone National Park

Yosemite National Park

More evidence of demons:

the World Trade Centers in NYC.

Adolph Hitler

Joseph Stalin

Saddam Hussein

There are more who are still alive, running countries like North Korea, Cuba, Iran.

Answer 8

The religious texts of the world talk of miracles. People in our time have reported spontaneous healing. People throughout human history have reported visions of the Virgin Mary and deities.
Is there scientific proof that can be tested in a laboratory? No.
Such events don't lend themselves to that kind of proof.
Ordinary people who experience these things don't talk about them openly for obvious reasons.
I

Answer 9

Miracles stopped 0ver 1900 years ago. Angelic direction still goes on with the Preaching work.

Answer 10

Yes. There are references in the Bible about angels and demons, etc. It's just that people don't believe those stories. I am not saying that they are proof to you, but you instead asked for evidence, and I'm telling you that there is.
