So, there’s a discussion on facebook about miracles,and about which religion one would pick based on miracles. Discussing religion is a time-honored tradition..at least, I assume that people have been doing it prior to this internet thing.. and I’m sure this is a topic that has come up before. Of course, most of the miracles that we’ve seen lately, we’ve built ourselves. [with the possible exception of a planet full of people displaying free will, which is perhaps the biggest miracle of all]
Perhaps God has grown apprehensive about communications with humans. I know I have.

Neither emergent phenomenon, or statistically unlikely things in an infinitely large universe(s), are miracles. They’re inevitable.

And this universe or universes stretches on and on forever and forever with no end without order or planning? And, that is more believable?

I’m glad my discussion was thought-provoking! I mostly put it up to poke fun at religion, as I don’t consider any of the “religious miracles” to be actual miracles. Your view that science & technology advancements are the real miracles is much in line with my own.

Science & technology are inevitable with a sentient species that survives long enough
