I agree and I put myself in a position there saying that I believe in miracles. To be honest, it's not miracles I believe in, it's just some extraordinary things do happen without logical explanations. That I believe in. Some illnesses disappear without a trace and no medical explanations to support the result, that sort of stuff.
I do agree with you.

If something appears miraculous to us, then it is just because we do not possess all the relevant information to make an informed conclusion. There is a logical, rational explanation - we just do not understand it.

Though the percentage of people who believe in creationism has changed little over the decades, the percentage of people who believe humans evolved without God has more than doubled, and the percentage who believe in God-guided evolution has decreased.

My "Deny Ignorance" meter blew a fuse while reading this article. Really, how can this be, in 2014?
Thoughts?
