And the fact that it all came about due to "happenstance" only makes them more amazing.<br /><br />Meanwhile the fact that we can use "rote science" to explain and understand those things doesn't take the amazement away in the least. It actually makes things all the more impressive, since we learn that minute changes have huge impacts on the world around us.Gedshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15047239425466517786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334761054277672365.post-71416687298326471312010-02-09T18:30:15.535-05:002010-02-09T18:30:15.535-05:00This form of anti-intellectualism and glorificatio...This form of anti-intellectualism and glorification of ignorance-based faith is almost always in retaliation to science-based facts intruding on the believers fragile psyche. It represents the spiritualist's last gasp against the onslaught of the cold, harsh natural world that doesn't care for us at all. Those who were indoctrinated into belief hold onto it like a warm blanket and will rationalize away their very survival to retain this comfort...Compassionate Heathenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16651495740612483172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334761054277672365.post-968518748908786202010-02-09T17:31:55.708-05:002010-02-09T17:31:55.708-05:00I would argue that the more we learn about things,...I would argue that the more we learn about things, the more miraculous the seem they actually seem to be. As we begin to understand through science the complexities of our bodies, the earth, how the big bang was able to produce what it did, we begin to see how exceptional things really are. To discount them as a happestance or by rote science means you probably don't truly understand how many factors went into what you see today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334761054277672365.post-86611973890692030782010-02-09T17:00:21.708-05:002010-02-09T17:00:21.708-05:00internet porn...ITS A MIRACLE!internet porn...ITS A MIRACLE!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04103446055814911491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334761054277672365.post-75798372318111144792010-02-09T16:52:34.629-05:002010-02-09T16:52:34.629-05:00Mr Archbold appears to be conflating the two defin...Mr Archbold appears to be conflating the two definitions of 'miracle':<br /><br />1. An event that appears inexplicable by the laws of nature and so is held to be supernatural in origin or an act of God<br />2. One that excites admiring awe. See Synonyms at wonder.<br /><br />Yes, nature can and often does excite admiring awe. But that doesn't mean that there is anything beyond the "thingness." A sunrise is a sunrise. Beautiful, awe inspiring... a miracle. But that doesn't mean there's anything supernatural about it.Quasarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398018171200335379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334761054277672365.post-2171448236665656632010-02-09T16:35:51.710-05:002010-02-09T16:35:51.710-05:00I like his definition of miracle, because once eve...I like his definition of miracle, because once everything is a miracle then nothing is a miracle. If everything is miraculous then you shouldn't expect to be surprised by anything making miracles obsolete.
