Does THIS make any sense ? Not a bit.

" For a miracle to actually be a miracle, it has to be an event that goes beyond the usual and ordinary circumstances of nature. That means its going to be rare and by rare I mean maybe happening just once in the history of humanity. If amputees occassionally grow limbs back, then growing limbs back becomes a natural phenomena that happens to occur occasionally.
I use the Biblical one. A completely natural event, in which a believer chooses to "see the hand of god operating".
There are NO *events* that are "miraculous". Some observed events have a low probability. Very (extremely) highly (individually) improbable events happen all the time.
You can easily make one with a probability of 1/googleplex happen right now. Go get 55 pairs of dice. Toss them on your desk. You know what the probability of the "miracle" you just caused is ?
Faith is a willing suspension of rationality.
Nothing more.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
