The Plausibility of Miracles

It’s wonderful how science is making the idea of an all-powerful, all-knowing and omnipresent God so much easier to believe.

Take for example Skype. If we lived only 200 years ago and I said to you one day you could be on the other side of the world and you will be able to see me and talk to me instantaneously, you would probably think I’d gone mad. The thought of God being able to hear our prayers instantly doesn’t seem so strange anymore does it?

And what about the thought of God being able to receive, process and remember millions of incoming prayers all at once, or the thought of God being able to create billions of things in just six days? Well, now we have computers. The world’s most powerful computer can perform billions of calculations and other functions per second.

Need I also mention the x-ray machine that sees through into our inner parts just as God can see what’s going on in our minds? Need I mention the wonders of the internet and surveillance technology that can record all we do and can keep a permanent record of it until the Day of Judgment?

It shouldn’t be too hard then in this age of technological wonders for us to believe in a God who can do these things so much better than us.

Jesus’ various miracles should also be more plausible to us. Why not then take another look at the greatest man whoever walked the earth?
