Arguments Against Miracles
#4
RE: Arguments Against Miracles
Any attempts to shoehorn a scientific framework into the biblical miracles are futile at best and ridiculous at worst. On the one hand, people like this speaker and his followers are desperate to 'prove' that miracles are not a violation of matural and scientific principles, yet at the same time they allow their god to violate those very principles any time it's convenient. They want to have it both ways. The really sad part of all this mental masturbation is that it's all done with the aim of making these people feel less self conscious and silly for believing in fairy tale magic.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
