He's healed my body also. And it's more than that. Scientifically speaking we don't fully understand how the fabric of reality holds together. The Bible says Jesus does it.mmcelhaneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07567242628894011776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2357475346759651140.post-7855725971348019612010-07-02T11:59:15.930-05:002010-07-02T11:59:15.930-05:00Paul,

If such things are less than the "normal" then they can rationalize them away saying that they aren't as "probable"...Then they try to minimize personal experience claiming it to be invalid. <br /><br />I mean in you're a nihilist that doesn't believe in any ultimate reality then what can we expect?...weak arguments at best for the unbeliever. <br /><br />Just simply write off everyone's experiences and medical records and replace that with the words "delusion" or "faith" in future scientific discovery.District Supt.

Thats is when all hope is lost. <br /><br />People can fool themsleves all they want but when you have no hope you want to find hope. The Dr. says you are going to die and there is nothing I can do for you, that forces skeptics to re think and say "God if you are real..." most of the times.<br /><br />This guy really has no rationale basis for saying that these occurances are not miracles apart from the fact that he doesnt believe. <br /><br />Numbers of miracles have nothing to do with it.If there is one miraculous occurance, can you then say Miracles dont exist. If there is one Cow left on earth, does that mean that there are no cows?<br /><br />The fact that he says he will pray is evidence enough that he is not convinced and is talking this crap to stay relevant.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02063500442339359526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2357475346759651140.post-91092726562572470382010-06-28T19:57:38.028-05:002010-06-28T19:57:38.028-05:00Morrison,

Sorry I haven't been available to bante...Tony,<br /><br />Sorry I haven't been available to banter as usual but you're on point.<br /><br />I think the critic fails to realize that science was born out of a time of religious thought. it wasn't secular thought that sparked science, it was religious thought. <br /><br />Now we can grant that initially scientific discovery and biblical understanding as was commonly taught were at odds. Even now that's the case in many areas, but that's not problematic when we consider what religion was supposed to do and what science was supposed to do also. <br /><br />Discovery of the world and having a greater understanding of it is not an intimidating to Christianity. No matter what is discovered we understand that it is subject to the creative power of God. That's the difference. <br /><br />Now some of these use what they find in science to make philosophical conclusions that science doesn't draw or make. That's the problem in my opinion. <br /><br />We can't help what we find out through science, but don't look at it and make the claim that it makes statements about God. Those are philosophical statements and not scientific ones. <br /><br />What I found interesting is that someone who doesn't believe in something would actually consider yielding to it under any circumstance. I think that proves that he's certainly more of an agnostic than anything, just living in denial that anyone knows about God, which is another silly notion...I mean if no one knows, then how does he know anything at all?District Supt.

Lewis, whom many consider to have had one of the most imaginative minds of the last century. He as you know was not a believer, well one day he finally picked up the bible, and read it, and he said, for the first time he saw himself for who he truly was. Now he didn't the red sea open up, nor did he see anyone raised from the dead, but what he did see was the depravity of his own heart. May this too come to these skeptics of science. And may they come to the realization, that science and christianity go hand and hand, some of the greatest scientist of early times were christian. <br /><br />And may they also come to realize, as some of us as christians have to, that sometimes your not going to see a miracle, but your going to have to go off of faith and believe. Hope I didn't go off topic to much (smile).Tony Davisnoreply@blogger.com
