Dears,
Let us learn to keep our debates dignified...for Goa's sake!
Kevin, people do not turn to God FIRST. God is generally the last
resort...when EVERYONE ELSE FAILS....this holds good equally for the theists
as for many of the proclaimed atheists/agnostics.
Miracles are not necessarily complex phenomena...they are OUT OF THE
ORDINARY happenings. Use another word if you like.
The 'miracle' I wrote about of Pota is about conceiving a child [unaided
by other 'helpful' men]. The problem could, perhaps, be medically attributed
to the wife's smoking habit. She conceived after giving up smoking.
Technically, the 'miracle' may have been in getting a 'confirmed' smoker to
give up a 15 year plus habit. That is as tough as converting a 'confirmed'
bachelor or spinster into a married person ....or an atheist into a theist,
or vice-versa. Pota did the 'trick'. We call it a 'miracle'. Call it what
you will. The lady has tqwo children. Before going to Pota she had
none...and not for want of trying ...or medical advice and expense.
That is as far as miracles go. For 'Faith' read Hebrews 11:1 ff in the New
Testament of the Bible. The agnostics/atheists can read it like any novel.
The Jehovah stuff does not fit into this. Perhaps, they have their reasons
as we have for killing animals that the vegetarians do not understand.
Viva Goa.
Miguel
