What explanation(s) does someone who doesn't believe in God have towards a miracle?

Question

If science can't explain such incidents, do they remain confused?

Answer 1

People who don't want to believe, who are emotionally invested in not-believing, will have a rational, scientific explanation for any miracle in the world. It's human nature not to want to be wrong about the core beliefs in our lives.

You have to open your eyes before you can see; some people feel very secure with their eyes squeezed shut tight. They don't want to see because they don't want to believe.

Answer 2

Science can explain such incidents; scientists are not confused. There is no such thing as a miracle. There are highly unlikely events, but events with small probability happen all the time (afterall there are 6 billion people in the world). For example, some diseases spontaneously go into remission...to those involved it seems like a miracle...but it happens. The chance of my winning a big lottery are millions to one...yet to that one person--and someone has to win---it seems like a miracle. It's just that the probability was extremely low. Events with low probability do occur though.

Answer 3

What some call a miracle, others just call it a low probability event. Or a fraud.

Only until science understands the underlying causality of these improbable or implausible events. These events are excellent opportunities for advancing our comprehension of nature.

Science is at ease with uncertainty — it is a challenge and an opportunity to understand better the universe.

Religions abhor uncertainties. That's why they erect deadly paper walls of dogmas.

Answer 4

Science doesn't have all the answers, I however see no point in calling that which science can't explain a miracle.. In the past people ascribes things like volcanoes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters to gods and miracles we now know they are not the work of a deity but the work of the planets natural cycles..

When science can't explain something it simply means science can't explain it not that it should be ascribed to a miracle or deity.. That's like saying "I don't know how a radio works it must be a miracle because I don't know."

Answer 5

Well for a start you have incorrectly assumed that miracles are real.. They're NOT real..!

A good outcome, a happy ending or good luck happens to people all over the world every day, both religious and non religious, but you would claim them as miracles.

Science describes the natural world, not imaginary acts of magic from an imaginary magic sky fairy..

You are living a lie, are severely deluded, are scientifically illiterate, and are in complete denial, so it's very difficult to explain to you where you have made a mistake..

Answer 6

Many miracles can not be explained by science. I have yet to find a science person that can tell me where the first atom came from to split into two, then four, then eight, ... then to as we are know. And I have seem miracles that science could not explain.
They only make things up to fit what they want them to, to keep God out of their lives. And proof of these lies are coming up everywhere.

Answer 7

yes. if miracles are just things that can't currently be explained by science, god is in big trouble in the long run, because science shows no sign of slowing down.

Answer 8

It's all a matter of chance. If you look at how many miracles could happen, but don't, then you would probably think differently. It's coincidence...

Answer 9

Just because science cannot explain something yet does not mean that the reason is supernatural. It just means that it is unexplainable for the moment.

Answer 10

Well present me with an unexplainable miracle and I'll let you know how it makes me feel.


For serious add on a miracle.
