If a miracle occurs and there is proof and that proof is observed, do you think reality would somehow be in jeopardy? What you meant is that it would contradict naturalism.Well, if someone ever proves that a miracle has happened, I will adjust my point-of-view. Until then, they are at odds with reality.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
