Have you ever seen a miracle?

Question

I have seen maybe thousands of miracles. I'm only 26 years old and I wonder if you have experienced this too.

Answer 1

Not one. I have experienced unconditional love, twice. That, to me, is way more important.

Answer 2

I have seen Christians throw the word around to describe all sorts of naturally occurring phenomenon. As a Christian, I believe that true miracles do not happen today, or if they do they are extremely rare.

EDIT:
People use the word 'miracle' to explain away things like a near miss in a potential auto accident; an extremely sick person becoming healthy again through a regiment of medical treatment; the opportune interception (by various legitimate means) of large amounts of money; and (God forbid!) childbirth.

What they fail to realize is that these are not actual 'miracles.' These are at best acts of 'providence.' The difference between the two is that while a miracle invokes the supernatural to present a phenomenon that defies the laws of science, providence means that everything happened within the laws of science--IE it has a rational explanation, no matter how unlikely, fortunate, or well-timed.

God has no need to use miracles these days, and so they are extremely rare. I am sure that the 'miracles' you have seen all have totally rational explanations. And this is not to say that these incidents were not God's doing, but they were likely NOT bona fide miracles.

Answer 3

I have experienced something personally that would qualify...I was driving in Ohio early one evening in September, 2004, just before it got dark, and thought I might be on the wrong road or had missed a turn. I reached for the map which was in the back seat. As I reached, I must have missed a warning of a STOP sign ahead around a curve. When I looked up, I was just before the intersection and still driving at 55. I SLAMMED the brakes and the wheels squealed as I saw another car coming from my right, who had the right of way. My car slowed AGONIZINGLY SLOWLY, and I was SURE I would either hit him broadside in the intersection or he would hit me flush on the passenger door. I saw what appeared to be an "unearthly" light, and suddenly I was through the intersection, and neither vehicle had touched the other. I TRULY BELIEVE GOD was on my side that day, and on the side of the other vehicle's occupants also. After I cleared the intersection, I pulled over and stopped. I sat there for many minutes. My heart was POUNDING, and I pondered what happened, or rather what did NOT happen--NO CRASH. I TRULY BELIEVE A MIRACLE TOOK PLACE THAT DAY--and I pray to GOD and thank Him every day ever since.

Answer 4

Are you talking about the births of babies or something so EMO like that? Then, yes. I've seen my cousin after she was born. It didn't feel like a miracle because I've hated babies even at the young age of 7. Well, anything else, nup. Miracles don't exist. Miracles in man's point of view, such as all the diseases getting wiped out, isn't going to be a miracle to Mother Nature. It is a curse for all animals. Human population will increase then, and thus all the pollution and etc would only double/triple/quadriple...you name it, more!

And besides, if you've seen so many "miracles", then they wouldn't even be miracles anymore. More like, everyday life occurances.

Answer 5

You are going to get a lot of sarcastic answers on this. Most miracles are not miracles, because they can be explained as natural phenomenon.I have never seen a real miracle but i believe in a few special ones,namely the apparitions of Mary.
especially Lourdes (1858), Fatima(1916), and most recently at Medjugorje(1981).These apparitions have been well recorded and documented to dismiss as fantasy or misguided spiritual fervour,and the works that flowed from them were good.Of course sceptics have explained these apparitions as hoaxes or natural phenomenon.

Answer 6

The 1980 Olympic Hockey tournament was a miracle. I was five. Haven't seen one since.

Answer 7

Consult David Hume: "No testimony is sufficient to establish a miracle, unless it be of such a kind, that its falsehood would be more miraculous than the fact which is seeks to establish."

A lot of people say things are miraculous that are actually just barely above mundane: faces in sandwiches, frozen waterfalls, not impressive.

Answer 8

Does Disney's Miracle on Ice count?

Answer 9

No one will believe you.
Miracles are rare and few.
What you would class as a miracle - others will say - a fact of life, therefore ordinary stuff.

When miracles become commonplace they are no longer miracles.

Answer 10

I didn't "see" it, but my mother was cured of cancer over night by a vision of a giant hand that took it out of her. The doctors had done tests and confirmed it was there, then she had the vision the night before the surgery and when they went in, the cancer was gone.

I'm Pagan, by the way. My mom is Christian or at least she thinks she is.
