5 Reasons why Your Miracles aren't Really Miraculous

What if God created religion, and Atheists are his favorite because they were smart enough not to believe this stuff without evidence?

[@Ekim1740]

Sahil Dev Ok. Create a random program that fills up 1000 random characters, if you create a sensible poem for a 1000 years or even billions of years. or better yet dis-assemble your car, and put it on a mixer, if you could create a relatively functioning car by mixing those separated pieces together. Then I will believe that Supreme intelligence is not required to create the Universe from nothingness or make life a out of non living materials. I will believe that DNA is just created by mixing some non living chemicals. If you are really are smart try disproving the miracle of Fatima.Take note these are uneducated children who claim to saw the mother of God. Take note that these children were persecuted the government for believing what they believed, but that did not stop them. Portugal that time was led by Secularist non believers. What is the chance of these children predicting a great miracle to prove that they are not lying months before and on the exact time? (FYI a lot of those witnesses are non-believers) What are the chances that these uneducated children making prophesy of the spread of communism from Russia which by that time is not yet an epidemic? It takes a leap of faith to believe in God. If God will make great miracles everyday, then we will have no free will. If Atheist are reasonable, then make some reasonable answer. Remember 70,000 people combination non believers and believers witness that great miracle. Even the atheist print media reported this miracle. Imagine if no miracle ever happened on that day, then those Atheist will be ridiculing those children. But anyways, God made a miracle as promised by Mary. So that's the end of story. Easy to make stories now that it was just a mass delusion or what ever story any atheist will make up to cover their faces. But the simplest answer is some miraculous event happened in Portugal that turned the non believing witnesses into believers. It take an intellectually honest man to accept the truth.

He hit a bowling ball in the road early one morning on his way to work . It really messed up his car, but he didn't crash. In desperation he thumbed a ride. The stranger who gave him a ride to work hadn't been able to sleep for some reason & had decided to go to Denny's for a Grand Slam breakfast. They both thought that the hand of God was behind the whole thing. My brother-in-law became re-born-again shortly after that. Talk about lowering the miracle bar! SIGH!

Maybe you could cover the differences between American religious people and, for example, Scandinavian religious people? There's a large difference (American religiousness seems much "stronger" and more widely spread).

[@pixelsthered]

I think it comes down to the religious history of those countries. Religion in the USA has been, since before it even existed, a lot of different christian denominations, all fiercely defending their faiths, meaning that freedom of religion was necessary in the US Constitution, just to keep the whole thing together. This means the American Christian has a defensiveness that comes from not having religious unity. But if we take, say, Norway. The history of Christianity in Norway's more straightforward: The local pagans were gradually converted to Catholicism. Then the Reformation happens and the king flipped the state religion to Lutheranism and confiscated the church property, meaning Catholicism quickly lost power in the region and the Lutheran church became the new religion most people followed. And with that unity, there is less defensiveness, meaning that Norway secularised over the years to the religious climate today

[@archiedsouza2001]

How miracles happen - an excerpt from my blog Prof Archie D'Souza [This is an excerpt from something I wrote six years ago] I was a very devout Catholic when in school and this is an account of a "miracle" I experienced. It happened during Holy Week (the week before Easter). One integral and very important event during the week was the Mass on Maundy Thursday, the Good Friday service and the Easter vigil mass. These were held on the school grounds as the church was too small to accommodate the congregation. There were different points on the ground where communion would be distributed. My father, who was the head usher at these services, always made sure everything was in order before and after the services. One such year, when I was taking a break from Easter vigil duty (a ritual where we'd spend the whole night in prayer in the church) I saw dad kneeling at a place on the ground. I walked up to him to tell him that the inside of the church was a better place to pray than the ground, especially because of the chilly air and due. The moment he saw me he heaved a sigh of relief. When I reached the spot he pointed to the ground. There were two round hosts - the body of Christ - lying on the ground. These could only be touched by a priest whose hands were anointed, not commoners like us. No problem with our tongue and the saliva as also the digestive juices in our stomach. But hands were banned. My father asked me to wait while he called a priest to pick up the two hosts and dispose of them as was ordained in Canon Law. On the way home dad told me about how he saw two tiny round objects. Thinking they were coins he went to pick them up and drop them in the collection box. On reaching the spot he realized they were the body of Christ. What if somebody had stamped them the next day? He said. Well, that, I thought, would have been a far worse sacrilege than touching them with un-anointed hands. The incident was forgotten by both of us after that. A month later there was a report in the Church Bulletin about how a miracle had taken place. A parishioner and his son (names were not mentioned) saw two bright lights flashing like car headlights. Thus the body of Christ was saved from being desecrated. So, gullible was I in those days that anything the clergy said we accepted. I actually started to believe that this is how it happened. I began to wonder years later if this is how every miracle originated. Most miracles are nothing but exaggerated accounts of events. Those which aren't are plain and pure falsehoods.

[@nerhu59]

When I was in the Army a few years back, I had a conversation with a born again christian in my unit. As an atheist I just wanted to understand his reasoning, he said it was because of a miracle that he had heard from his pastor, which I didn't really buy as a genuine story, let alone a miracle. He claimed (In his pastor's miracle story) that some random man "heard" god calling/instructing him, to buy an econoline van (the kind that seats 15 or so people) and donate it to the local church. Which it just so happens was supposed to be doing some missionary work, but the church bus had broken that morning and they were not going to be able to go. He went on too say that it had to be a miracle that a man showed up with this van on the very same day that the church needed it. I still don't understand how this hearsay was good enough evidence for him too become born again...

[@1royalpalm]

I don't believe in miracles. Of course, it's a subjective thing as different people define miracles differently. For myself, my definition of a miracle would be: A jetliner flying at 500 MPH with 300 passengers aboard slams directly into the face of a granite cliff. If anyone survived that I would consider it a miracle. The laws of physics would dictate that no one could survive such a crash.

There's no need to shoot me anymore because I'm dead!" The guy looks at him kind of sorrowfully because he wasn't the guy he wanted to kill but still proceeds to shoot at him again.

He was able to drive himself to the hospital and had emergency surgery. He missed about a month of work and when he came back, he said that if the bullet had been an inch higher he would have died. He proclaimed that God has been watching over him and allowed him to live. Meanwhile, I'm listening to this analysis and thinking that if God were really looking out for him, he would have made the bullet miss him entirely.

Only thing I'd have to disagree with is that Hindu's definitely do market miracles. There are a lot of wealthy Gurus in India who get followers (and money) from Western countries.

[@Russlem]

The Bottle Opener Doesn't that reinforce that this is primarily a Western phenomena? The shysters require Westerners for their living.

[@unadultratedtrini]

Most Hindu's don't believe in miracles as they know this is a western thought. They believe that everything happens was going to happen in the first place. If it did not happen it wasn't going to as the universe itself would put obstacles in its way from occurring. A lot of people have no idea what Hinduism is because they either come from the outside looking in or attribute themselves to some guru and never do their own research, a thought that isn't alongside Hindu philosophy.

[@_Galaxymuffin_]

Atharva Jeevan Hinduism is just another religion in my eyes. Something else we don't need.

[@LibationsForYou]

Rusty Shackleford Honestly, I don't know enough about how people in the near, middle and far East feel about their religions, so I can't say. All I know about this subject of Hindu 'miracles' is what I've seen through BBC documentaries which intentionally focus on Americans and English who have become followers of these gurus. In my gut, I feel like it's easy to say it's only a Western phenomena, but I think that's giving too much credence to Eastern religions which don't seem to have been damaged by science quite as much as Christianity. This is purely speculation, but I think perhaps the reason why nobody talks about miracles from the Muslim or Hindu corners of the world is because there isn't an intellectual debate between atheism and religion like there is in the West.

[@LibationsForYou]

khaosjoker909 Well said. A lot of people argue in favor of the philosophical values of religions, but in my mind, we've already realized and surpassed a lot of those values as a society. We know the Golden Rule is useful, and that most of the Ten Commandments aren't. But we've also learned a lot more that religion had no part in. Some people argue in favor of stripping out the useless parts of religion, but I think we're well beyond that point and can just rid ourselves of the whole damned system. For those naysayers (aka, agnostics), we still have Sam Harris reporting to us about the usefulness of spirituality and meditation as secular constructs.

[@Honestman400]

Over the past 45yrs of me being an atheist, I must have asked dozens, if not hundreds of religious people this question: *_"Can you give me one verified case of a miracle. By that I mean something that could not possibly be explained by any possible or probable natural means."_* So far, I have not had a single satisfactory answer.

[@MrMarco855]

Honestman400,...………..yes, I can in fact give you a case of a miracle. You state that you require the miracle to be verified. That must be what you lean on, and what you use to claim that nobody has given or shown a miracle. If you were an honest man, you would hear the story of a purported miracle, and judge it to be true or not, by use of your heart and senses. Including the word 'verifiable' as a crutch in the case that a miracle was provided, is evidence of your insincerity and doubt about your ability to know the truth by way of your own honest nature. I have experienced a miracle, there's no other way to describe it, and no way to show that it was other then a miracle. A person with confidence that is also honest would make a real challenge, instead of using tricks to fall back on. If I present a scenario in which miraculous occurrences took place, and you acknowledge that you had no other explanation if things happened the way that I said they happened, would you automatically claim no miracle happened anyway or use your spirit and honest nature to discern if I've been honest about this occurring?

Three perfect adjectives to describe 'miracles': selective, subjective, unverifiable. Thank you.

Christians are so invested in their beliefs that i guess it would take a real miracle to make them understand there are no miracles... no, wait, but then miracles WOULD be real, and therefore... Oh, my head hurts, i think i'll just stop trying to make sense out of this stuff. Lol.

Sometime later he left the creek got in his car and started driving thinking to go to his father's house for he would know what he should do. When he got to his father's house his father gave him some rags to hold to his head telling him to apply pressure. My family and I were informed by his sister that he had been shot in the head, on the phone she was inconsolable. We told her that when she found out what hospital he had been taken to to let us know because we'd be there. After she hung up we immediately started praying. She called not too long later telling us the hospital name and we rushed out the door to meet her there. When we got there another relative was already there and told us that he was in surgery. At first, after he had come out of surgery, they didn't let us up there, just his two sisters that lives in our state and his dad, ( their mother, my aunt, passed away some time ago). Then they let us upstairs.

Hemant, even though i really love your channel and the fact that you fight for atheism, what you said in 4:55 is wrong. *_VERY_* wrong. we have Thousands, maybe _Millions_ of Muslims who talk about "Allah" speaking to them when they are in need. In fact, i know some of them who are so delusional that they think Allah resurrected a person before he goes to heaven.

[@epicdman8139]

I think the best way to describe myself right now is an agnostic christian. I'm in that in between stage from christian to agnostic. For any of those who have dropped religion, you all know this is the most terrifying stage to go through. What I've done is I've asked God for not one miracle, but many. This video made me realize that coincidences can truly seem utterly miraculous when they're not. With many miracles, however, every time something like that happens the statistical likelihood for its occurrence goes down. An example would be like what I'm praying for: I'm going to read the verse of the day on my bible app every day for two years, and I want it to relate to something that happened that day. Not something vague like "have faith" but something specific to that day. The likelihood of it happening 730 times in a row is extremely low, and the longer it persisted the more rational it would be to believe it to be a miracle..... unfortunately it only happened once

[@nick45945]

[@declanp1]

evidence please.

[@nick45945]

in modern times the world has been witness to such Heaven-sent miracles as those at Fatima, Lourdes, and St. Anne de Beaupré in Quebec, Canada, where the cured have left a forest of crutches in testimony. (The Lourdes Medical Bureau is open for examination by any doctor.) In addition, there is the liquefaction of the blood of St. Januarius which still takes place in Naples each year on September 19, his feast day; the incorruption of the bodies of many Catholic saints (such as St. Bernadette, who died in 1879); and the miraculous Eucharistic Host of Lanciano, Italy, which has been scientifically proven to be human flesh and human blood, type AB, to mention only a few of the miracles still on-going in the 20th century, which point to the existence of a God.

[@declanp1]

[@declanp1]

nick mel a minimal amount of research will show that each one of these so called "miracles" either has a scientific explanation or is complete bullshit.

[@nick45945]

I just gave you evidence. You telling me to give you evidence for the evidence is a non sequitur. Anybody who does their research will see they're legit.

[@FreeinChristForever]

To Sarah Wagner: Who created the men, the doctors, the doctor's brains, the equipment, the equipment to make the equipment? Who created your ancestors, things that make up what people use to make computers, phones, houses, shoes, everything that man makes? Do you just think of something that it appears up? Or do you have to use something to make something? The answer is you have to use something to make something or make something happen like doctors found out that using radiation helps to get rid of what your dad had. But your dad obviously realized as I do that nothing the doctors gave him would have done a bit of good if: A) it wasn't already there for them to use or make into a useably form, or B) if G-D hadn't have given him more time to live because many people die being treated with radiation but G-D said he still had time and allowed the treatments to work. And shame on you for disrespecting your father and in such a public way as well ☹. That's your father if you disagree with him about something that should be between you and him and not you, him, and the world.

Real Miracles happen all the time. I prayed for a dog that got thrown from a car during an accident . I was one of the first responders. I laid my hands on the dog and prayed when he was out cold. His tongue was hanging out of his mouth, and it looked like his jaw was broken. The instant I prayed, his mouth came together and he started breathing. I prayed again because he wouldn’t get up. He got up instantly and perked up at attention. I was pretty amazed , because everything happened right away , just like the many that were healed by Jesus instantly, when he laid hands on them. It wasn’t a process like so many situations are - that make you question miracles. Just the other day my own dog’s leg was healed instantly when I prayed. I just wish that I was as good at praying for humans as dogs! Hoping that happens someday. If you want to doubt miracles , you will continue to find ways to doubt miracles, but if you believe in miracles and look for them, you will continue to find them.” For it is impossible to please God without faith. And one should not think his prayers should be answered without faith. But God is gracious and compassionate , and sometimes even answers our faithless prayers. He helps us in our unbelief.

Miracles can't exist anyway. A miracle means that god has intervened in your life, therefore breaching free-will. Yet another Christian belief debunked in a sentence.

[@solumafspaz1920]

i love how there are no responses from christians fighting u

[@mariahranger4270]

This statement is your own personal opinion, not a valid argument. A person's free will is a person's ability to make their own choice. When God performs miracles, He doesn't force you, he is either giving guidance, or is reaching out to you to reveal His reality. To add, you cannot use another individuals opinion to attempt to "debunk" a logical and coherent actuality if you do not fully understand what it means. When you search the truth to the fullest and actually open up your mind to the supernatural existence of God, you will find Him. Let's start from your view, lets assume there is a God. If God was the provider of life, and which even the Bible and life shows us that he gave us free will to choose, he didn't and doesn't ever force us to follow Him. So, when performing miracles, it is him revealing himself to us so that we may know of his existence to be able to find him.

[@malcite]

www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/miracle Read that. Personal events do not count as they can (as mentioned in the video) seem like miracles in hindsight, but it is not. Its like the lottery. Many say its a miracle that they win the grand prize, but all they really did was beat the odds, and you always have at least one chance of winning as long as you buy a ticket. Divine intervention has yet to happen and would be the only way that science couldn't explain it so again debunked.

When I was in college I was laying on bed and head noise bam! Bam! I jumped to see what going on. I heard a voice lay down! The next morning I got up looked outside my dorm room. The windows were shot both door at opposite ends of the hallway. When I got ready go back into room there was a bullet hole in the side of my doorframe. If had not stayed in I believe I would have been shot maybe even killed. Thank God for miracles!

[@leia1630]

I clicked on this because its exactly what I should watch as I felt like I had a miracle which was what lead me to believing in god , also miracles aren't always done by God they're just amazing outcomes that happen to you in your life. One of my friends just got cancer about year ago and she has been tackling it and she's been in school and I really thought she was going to survive it but then on November the 3rd it was confirmed she had passed away ONLY 14 YEARS OF AGE. So i think people who survive cancer have had a miracle.
