Prove me wrong.
Here is John Lennox, a man with I think has 3 PhD's who teaches at Oxford talking about science and miracles.
I am not sure if some sort of amalgamation of all the studies that have been done on miracles exists. But science has not proved miracles to be false, in fact there have been many recent books by scientists and medical professionals about near death experiences.
Yeah and he's also a very, VERY devout Christian. I'm sure HE wouldn't be biased or anything. 9_9 Just because someone is a scientist does not make them immune to gullibility, it just makes them curious about their field of study. He isn't even actually a scientist, either, he just studies the philosophy of science itself, and religion as well. He actually has no intricate knowledge of biology, astronomy, medicine, or anything, actually; he just knows the philosophical principles behind them and what their purposes are. He's dressed up as a great intellectual, and in his field, maybe he is, but to give him any validity to understanding the studies of biology themselves just because he studies what the study is overall, is like saying that because I have tasted a lot of different dishes, I automatically am an amazing cook. It's just not true. So what he says actually doesn't really bear any weight, here.
Basically, he's a glorified apologist. That he was a student of C.S. Lewis is very clear in his verbiage.
