Re: Remember that Dutch comic about Mohamad?
Well, in Christianity there is only one god, so the others must be non-existent or something else.

So, in short, I guess i disagree with you: the rarity of "miracles" would seem to be one of the components that makes them so miraculous. Just my opinion on the matter, though. |

Re: Remember that Dutch comic about Mohamad?
First, I'm not trying to argue that the Earth fits so well that it must have been made for us. I was simply using that as an example. I'm trying to say that the world we live on is an amazing place, but we don't generally think of it in that manner because we see it every day. An every day miracle, if you will. (Though you probably wont. :p)
I would say a miracle would have to be something inexplicable. That does seem to be the basis of miracles as a definition. I am not, however, saying that a miracle must happen infrequently, by definition. I am merely saying that if it happened everyday people would become accustomed to it and would not be likely to consider it a profound happening. The extraordinary would become ordinary. Know what I'm saying? |

Re: Remember that Dutch comic about Mohamad?
True, sometimes the inexplicable can be explained. However, that shouldn't really hurt the faith of a person with a solid foundation. To explain a miracle that was formerly inexplicable doesn't necessarily discredit the existence of a higher being. One would be forced to admit that if the higher being indeed created the universe, including all the rules that govern it, that being would be well capable of accomplishing something within the rules for the universe of the being's creation.
And I've never played Black and White, but from the sounds of your description, that pretty much covers it, yeah. |
