Pope John Paul II and the trouble with miracles
July 7, 2013 at 9:21 pm
Quote:Ultimately the acceptance of miracles — events where the laws of nature apparently break down — are one example of a "God of the Gaps" argument that ultimately ends up building tensions between science and religion. If inexplicable events are used as evidence for God, what happens when later science comes along and provides a natural explanation? When the gap goes away, where is the room left for God?
