Do you believe in miracles?

[msc545]

Can science explain everything, or are some events so thoroughly beyond our comprehension that some supernatural force — whether of the religious kind or otherwise — must be behind them?

[Emelina]

Absolutely, you just need to believe that somethings happens in life for a reason, and whatever that might be its only for me to know I been blessed with a miracle. Example: cancer cells multiply and can kill you... but suddenly it's gone completely and there's no explanation why the cancer is gone? But my purpose might be to go out in the community and share my story about cancer for those who are going through it. My own miracle would be to meet my soul mate one day... now that would be a blessing! Sorry I just had to throw that in 😄

[Emelina]

Thanks for the MHG 🙂

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Nope. I believe all miracles have scientific explanations which we haven’t found yet.

[strateguy632]

to la, so you admit the event occurred?

[Ben487]

I don't think so. Everything so far can be explained by science or eventually will be explained by science. Maybe one day when all knowledge has been collected and something remains unexplainable and completely miraculous, at that point we might be able to claim something as a miracle. Like for instance the origin of life. I don't think science has a bead on that one... but I bet in the future we will figure it out.

to ben see my reply to wuack

quack

[RealMarek]

Whether there are supernatural forces or not, science can only explain that which can be induced through the process of hypothesis and experiment. Science is a tool that facilitates learning, not a substitute for philosophy.

[msc545]

@RealMarek This was very striking "Science is a tool that facilitates learning, not a substitute for philosophy" Are you the author of that or someone else?

[RealMarek]

Those are words I came up with on my own, but I’m certainly not the first person to state that concept. I was trained in the scientific process (common) and in the philosophy of science (used to be common, but is no longer common). Anyone who is properly trained will recognize the limits of what science is able to discover or verify. The questions beyond its scope are the realm of philosophy. And this is the problem I have with the science popularizers that our elites sponsor to indoctrinate the kids, like Bill Nye and Neil DeGrasse-Tyson. Aside from having lackluster scientific resumes (no problem, there are not many great scientists and they can still present scientific ideas and process in an interesting or entertaining way), they are really incompetent (or worse, possibly intentionally dishonest) whenever they veer into commentary in the realm of history or philosophy and consistently serve to lick the boots of the elites by advancing their ideological hobby horses.

[Ptrmbrs88]

"Science is a tool that facilitates learning, not a substitute for philosophy."
If only more people understood this very basic idea. Unfortunately they seem to be under the spell that if there is something that the scientific method or science community cannot account for, it therefore is not, or cannot, be real or true.

[strateguy632]

i do. but magic is a problem for me bible said kill witch but how if magic not real?

[strateguy632]

why indented under real?

[RealMarek]

@Ptrmbrs88 The spell they are under has been cast on purpose. The US educational system educated people enough to be propagandized.

[Quackthulu2]

Just because something might be beyond our understanding at the moment, doesn’t mean we won’t gain a better understanding in the future. But no, there is no evidence at all to suggest that magic, or voodoo or whatever other religious bullshit you care to ask about actually exists.

[strateguy632]

to quack (you called yourself that) if we "will explain" it, then you admit the story happened. like ten plagues?

[Quackthulu2]

@strateguy632 Do you have any evidence that it actually happened?

[andreasderjuengere]

For a caveman a light bulb must have been a miracle (switched on and powered up, that is)

Most things can be explained; the remaining ones: very likely explained in the future.

But from a symbolic or philosophic point of view this will not change much about the 'miracle' itself.

I believe that... they are kind of useful.

[lightbulb27]

I think science can explain everything once it understands. In other words, miracles are things that are remarkable that we don't yet understand. Physics of the 'universe' appear to support a lot of possibilities.

[Berethor]

You can call it miracle or you can call it luck, I don't believe in supernatural, it movies thing.

[strateguy632]

to ber comedy is not philosophy

[Leapfrog00]

One kind of happened to me. I almost died a few months ago when I was diagnosed with diabetes. My blood sugar was in the 1,000s and I probably should've been dead. My body must be strong!

[goaded]

No, there are just things that we don't understand yet. Like lightning; we know it's not Thor, there's all sorts of things like gamma radiation and possibly anti-matter involved... It will be understood, probably soon.

[exitseven]

I believe that there are forces in the universe that we cannot perceive or understand. Sometimes we can get a glimpse of this under the right conditions.

[DermalPunch]

Absolutely ! My whole encore life is a miracle. And I've nearly died twice.

[dreamstar72]

Same here my live is a unbelievable experience

[DermalPunch]

@dreamstar72 we made it!

[dreamstar72]

Yes we did, but most people still can’t believe that I’m alive.

[DermalPunch]

@dreamstar72 why is that?

[dreamstar72]

It’s complicated answer was in a freak accident that was traumatic lasted forever to me. Lost most of my friends, girlfriend, classmates, and so on. I guess it was because they couldn’t believe that I was alive and besides it was at bad timing.

[Anonymous]

Someone might argue with me on this but how we came to be is a miracle within itself. "The big bang theory" or rather God's creation of the universe is a miracle to me.

[strateguy632]

to ano, content bang" like at some time moment the bang happened, how? not nature.

[BoopBoopBeep]

A wise man once said, "Fate it seems, is not without a sense of irony..."

[collie22]

I'm believing in the bible and jesus so yeah miracles are in 😊

[Blueeyes81]

No. Natural occurrences that were once attributed to god have now been explained by science. Just because we have no understanding of something now does not mean in 10000 we won't. It just means we have a lot more to learn.

[strateguy632]

but a miracle would not be a miracle nor sign if nature could do it.

[OfMiceandMen]

I don't believe in miracles, there is typically a logical explanation for things that happen.

[najekim]

Not in miracles, per se. But there things in our universe, and on Mother Earth, that do defy any logic for the simple reason that we haven't been able to understand them yet.

[Ptrmbrs88]

I don't "believe" in miracles, but I don't rule them out either, because it is the case that science can't explain everything.

[On_cloud_wine]

Yes, more like God intervening miracles though

[MementoMori777]

Yep and blessings

[Agape93]

Nope

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Yes.
