whats in a miracle

RE: whats in a miracle
People call something with low chance of happening a Miracle. Being shot results in a high likelyhood of dieing, however that doesn't assure you that you WILL die.

RE: whats in a miracle
They always seem eager to jump to supernatural conclusions. Just because it's unlikely or it is of the unknown, doesn't fucking mean it has to be connected to anything religious. Like morons who hear noises at night and immediately assume it was ghosts. They don't even go and look into what caused the noise. They just assume and without good reason to. This is why I pay no attention to the religious.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

True. My idea of a miracle is something that has 0% chance of happaing without some external force.
I do not think it is necessary to believe that the same God who has given us our senses, reason, and intelligence wished us to abandon their use, giving us by some other means the information that we could gain through them

I get my haircut at a Christian barber shop called Miracles on the Aiken-Augusta Highway. Their motto: "If it is a good haircut, it's a miracle."
