Not sure what the point is here. It certainly doesn't say anything about whether God exists or does not, whether miracles happen or not, just because he did not step in here. Some may argue that he certainly did through the examples of incredible courage of people that helped hide Jews and otherwise risk their lives. You will find most, if not all, of the people in these cases were led by their religious convictions. Biblical miracles were not just wily-nily things. They happened during very specific times and granted to a very small number of people - major prophets. They were always part of times of revelation from God to his people. Sure, we have people claim miracles all the time, whether it's healing a sickness or seeing the Virgin Mary in their toast. These aren't what most Biblical scholars consider true miracles such as seen with the Moses, Elijah or Jesus...miracles mainly performed to call attention to the revelations given from God. We are obviously not in a time of revelation any more...Jesus gave us what we needed to know. So we cannot expect to see Biblical-scale miracles. --- Mary Jo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
