I keep getting Jesus and Kevin Nash confused.

I've around Christian Services for many years and I have saw what most people would consider miracles but never on the scale that the Bible talks about. What I have seen with miracles is they're scattered and rare. Why I don't know.
None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.

"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."

Specious (and fubar too) but Pat Robertson's deflection of the hurricane would be considered by those in the appropriate schism of christianity as a fairly large scale miracle.

I once saw a 14 year old boy that had leukemia, he was in the hospital with double pneumonia. They said his chances were slim.
After prayer he not only recovered for the pneumonia but also recovered from the leukemia. He went on to marry and have a family. He owns his own business and he's a success. From what I've seen it's rare but it does happen.

Do you think that was a miracle? What's your definition of miracle?
