Do miracles still happen today?

Question

And so you personally believe in miracles?

Answer 1

No, today we employ scientific explanations for the phenomena that the ancients considered miracles. Science is not perfect, but I prefer it over the opinions of long-dead primitive people who didn't know squat about physics or chemistry or weather, for example. It's a pity that religion holds back the growth of science to the degree that is does - we would all be better off without "miracles."

Answer 2

"Miracles" as used in daily conversation refer to two different things 1) events that can not be explained as due to natural causes and 2) events due to divine intercession.

There are plenty of events which may be considered under case 1. Some people may even classify them as case 2 events The problem is that there are no objective standards for event classification. There is only subjective faith. In this sense I believe personally in miracles.

Answer 3

Ah!!! Sure.
Don't you think, using Internet is a miracle?
However, if you have sufficient knowledge to explain how Internet works, then it is not a miracle to you.
When Alva Edison invented Phonograph and invited a journalist and the journalist touched the machine it told him 'Good morning, how are you', that was a miracle to that journalist.
Everyday, millions of miracles are happening and will happen.

Answer 4

It is a miracle I wake up everyday, I don't get shot or bombed by some lunatic who thinks it is their right to exist and not me. It is a miracle Bush has not pressed the button yet.

Answer 5

Absolutely!!! My father was almost crippled with rhemotoid arthritis. He had big bumps in his back, double elbows, cripled fingers and crawled to the bathroom in the morning moaning and groaning from the pain of his aggressive arthritis. He received gold shots, cortisone shots, acupuncture, and lived on aspirin and pain killers. He was prayed over at a Christian's Prayer Meeting; then he didn't seem to complain of pain and started to walk better. He was a professional piano player and piano teacher, but couldn't play any more due to his cripling hands. One day he went to the doctor for exrays, and the doctor came out of the exray room and my father said to him "what's wrong, you look like you just saw a ghost"? The doctor told him that he has never witnessed a miracle, but his exrays showed no signs of him ever having arthritis and that he was miracously cured! Then my father heard that the organ player in his church had died and they needed a volunteer to play the organ for the masses, so after the miraculous cure, my father volunteered his talents and expertise to the church by playing the organ every week and played the piano to entertain the elderly and gave free piano lessons to any child that wanted to learn. After his miracle, he never charged a dime and continued to play for free until the day he died. You see the reason God cured him was because He knew that the church needed an organ player. This is 100% true!!!
