Considering that, if today a conscious, intelligent God-like entity seemed (God-like, i.e. not alone an alien from another world) and exercised these abilities, can we not reasonably label the functions marvelous? I'd posit yes. They'd be marvelous, despite maybe not violating the laws of nature, since they rest beyond, well beyond, current and even near-future human potential and because they epitomize and are in keeping with the motivations of a God-like entity.

Notice the distinction. The engineering involved, but sophisticated, doesn't quality the action as a miracle. All things considered, I've stipulated that the engineering lies within natural law, and possibly even some much future individual capability. The action rises to a amazing stage on the timing of the action. That God-like entity, not with a marvelous technique, but with a supernatural volume, has used a engineering prior to mankind's ability to take action and before mankind's understanding of how it works.

Thus, within my view, no assumption should exist that, state Christ, violated the regulations of nature. That type of thought does get people external convention. Many would react number require exists to "dumb down" wonders - scripture, discovery and theology help a opinion that God can, did and does violate the laws of nature.

That's fine a course in miracles audios. However, my judgment stays - described wonders could signify program with a God-like entity of sophisticated engineering, and more, that this program, being beyond, well beyond, the individual features at the time, suits the idea of a miracle. This greater - however in my brain however valid - conception of miracles somewhat, actually seriously, impedes my maintaining, with assurance, the non-existence of miracles.

In recent times, we look not to have large-scale or undisputed miracles. Number beach has exposed, no audience of hundreds has been given, number army has crumbled at the name of God. Undoubtedly, the Catholic Church does maintain a list of unexplainable healings, which they have classified (after fairly exhaustive consideration) as miracles. But to many non-believers, having less a recognizable description more correctly shows the restriction of clinical knowledge and investigatory tools, perhaps not the power of a God.
