    miracle

    NOUN: 1. One that evokes great surprise and admiration: astonishment, marvel, phenomenon, prodigy, sensation, stunner, wonder, wonderment. Idioms: one for the books, the eighth wonder of the world. See GOOD . 2. An event inexplicable by the laws of nature: wonder. See SUPERNATURAL

    Harsh but true.

    If I were to speak feeling less cynically then I would call all that is beautiful about this planet miraculous and worthy of my awe.

    did anyone see the Daily Show last night? (do you europeans get it on CNN or another channel? Here in the US it's on Comedy Central). They had a segment on "Miracles" and were talking about the plane crash in Toronto. John Stewart quoted a definition of miracles (similar to Terry's definition) and said so the "act of God involved in all this was actually the lightning striking the plane". It wasn't a miracle that everyone got out alive. It was due to the quick thinking on the part of all the people involved. Of course, he was very funny about it all. But I agree with him; a lot of things that getted marked down as "miracles" are actually people just showing good, quick judgement in challenging situations.

    I believe as per defnition 1 and not definition 2.

    Getting up and to work on time this morning Evoked great surprise in my boss. He believes in miracles.

    Eating a plate of red hot chillis aroused great admiration in my step daughter - she believes in miracles.

    etc...

    Evolutionists hoped their students would believe without question that amino acids would produce life. But Heinze reveals the facts evolutionists won't tell you. ......

    The amino acids produced would not work in any living things. The more recently suggested steps in "Chemical evolution" will not take place either. The idea is scientifically bankrupt, and the foundation of evolutionary thinking is destroyed.

    Life is indeed a miracle from God.

    Once upon a time in a land far far away I thought I was guided by my God.

    and maybe it was a miracle. I think we are just on our own.

    Just me.

You know what? As long as people could get God out of the picture they'd say things like that. Yet people who are wiser and perhaps even older would definitely say it is a MIRACLE. Why did the word miracle came to be if some people just can't accept it. Seeing is believing YET I don't think people realise they are doing the opposite. HF
