there are hundreds of books recorded by these regular people across the world, with evidence such as doctor notes, xrays, testimonies, etc
ps you cannot demand a miracle as it is mentioned in the bible
I can also ask why is it that no matter what you say to an Atheist, he still stands by his unbelief? No matter what evidence, he still refuses to believe. God won't do a huge miracle to make them believe right in front of them because that is not his nature. He answers those who seek his face, those who believe and those who honor him.
But I suppose some folks do see the hand of God guiding things in every day life as well. Bit different than a miracle though.
It's a sad mixture of 'wishful thinking' and desperation. Since their god can never be proved by any scientific criteria, they jump on every mis-diagnosed illness, and every $100 dollar win on LOTTO as an answer to their prayers and proof that their god exists.
Yet NONE of them, (though I have questioned hundreds of miracle believers) can give a reasoned response to the question: Why, if god can produce miracles, has there NEVER, EVER, ANYWHERE been the totally PROVABLE miracle of a missing limb being 'regrown' through prayer or the action of a divine being??????
In miracle 'shrines' throughout the world one finds crutches, wheelchairs, canes....all left as "proof" that some illness has been cured by the patron saint of the shrine...but NEVER has anyone left a prosthetic device no longer needed because the missing limb grew back.
Does the god of Christianity not hear the prayers of paraplegics or even good Christian soldiers who lose a leg to a land mine???? Or doesn't he care????
The idea of 'miracles' posits an arbitrary god who provides miracles ONLY for those who claim to be his worshippers. Yet he never offers a totally PROVABLE miracle. Big fish swallowing men, or talking donkeys, just doesn't cut it!
The last "miracle" I heard of, first hand, was from a fervent believer in the stigmatic Padre Pio....the miraculous answer to her prayer????----- Padre Pio helped her sell her house "right before the blacks took over the whole neighborhood"!!!!!! So much for the 'miraculous mind-set'.
Edit
bibigirl:
You have spent entirely too much time reading the super-market tabloids. I challenge you to offer credible proof that ANY of those 'miracles' you claim actually happened!!!! Are you up to the challenge, or are you just blowing smoke up everyone's butt????
Maars....
When did your god STOP offering 'big' miracles to convince non-believers???? It was his stock in trade throughout the Old Testament, and right into the new..."so that they may believe in the power of Yahweh"?????? Did the ancient pagans need more convincing than 21st century men and women????
Amputated limbs regrowing?
Where the hell do you hear these stories? There has never, EVER, been a single medically documented case of a lost limb being regrown. None. At all. Ever.
The other things you gave as examples of 'miracles' are simply unexplained. In the ignorant past of humans, we have regarded many things as miracles - only because we lacked understanding of how they occurred.
So you pray for something and then it happens... that does not prove anything. Now if you can document repeated prayers for unlikely things that were all granted - without exception - then THAT would start to be proof of prayer/miracles.
This doesn't happen, and there is a reason why...
