Hey guys,
I too like reading about miracles. Did you ever read about the Law of Large numbers or the Law of averages? That is interesting when it comes to probability. It theorized that a miracle would happen every day(ish) if there was a large enough focus group. Oh, a miracle being something almost statistically impossible.
A very good point about the specific miracle discussed was that it seemed localized. Obviously if something is happening to the sun, you would notice anywhere it is risen.
If I could close by pointing out that I think we are all miracles. How did I get here, to be on a most complex device discussing things with others so far away at light speed? How is it that the numbingly intricate system that is my living body has made it this far? How can I even have these self-aware thoughts? It is a miracle, however it arrived.
