Life is a miracle, every breath is a gift

“Miracles are nothing but the working of Super Laws. They can be performed by anyone who is acquainted with the Scientific relation between Matter and Mind.” Life is indeed a miracle but that depends on how you’re using the word “miracle”. If you mean something more metaphorical like a good thing worth cherishing and protecting, sure. Life is precious to us and we should make the most of it. If, however, you mean something rare, impossible or supernatural, then obviously no. Life is a commonplace, mundane biological function of the natural world. Where miracle = “a surprising and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore considered to be the work of a divine agency.”

Absolutely not. There was no “divine agency” involved. No deities. No gods. Nothing sapient is behind the emergence of life. Where miracle = “a highly improbable or extraordinary event, development, or accomplishment that brings very welcome consequences.” No. Life is not “improbable”. It is an expectable, predictable, emergent phenomenon, driven by the underlying physics of existence. Where miracle = “an amazing product or achievement, or an outstanding example of something.” Yes. You could call life amazing. You could say that it is amazing that physical reality works in such a way as to cause life to emerge.

Life is complicated. We certainly don’t know everything about it, and what we do know takes a long time to learn. And there’s an awful lot we don’t understand about life. We don’t really understand how it began. We don’t really understand consciousness yet. And we know we have a long way to go before we understand those two very hard problems and so many others. But unknowns can’t be answered if we just declare them miracles and move on. I’d rather study the problems - no matter how hard or seemingly intractable they are - and understand them to the greatest agree we can before we assign some supernatural causality. And historically, from evolution to germ theory to psychology, science has won every war it’s had with supernatural causality. I think that’s a trend that’s going to go on forever.

The more we study, the more we understand. It’s very easy and perhaps emotionally satisfying to just call the things that are complicated and hard to understand miracles, but we gain nothing by doing that. I say let’s work to find the answers before we insert the supernatural into those gaps needlessly (and destructively). You could call life “miraculous”.Everything or anything that the creation can't do it, it's a miracle. The creation had tried and keep trying to create life, but hasn't succeeded and never will. Life belongs to God only. He gives it and allows it to be taken away for His purpose.?

But only when “divine agency” is left out. You might notice that when we attempt to theorise about the possible origin of the universe, we are always left with a basic metaphysical problem. Those people who assume that the universe is a kind of mechanism are left asking, 'where did this mechanism come from, and what initiated it?' Those who believe the universe is a kind of computer simulation are left with the question, 'Well who made those who made the simulation?', and sincere monotheists with, 'Who made God?' When we attempt to explain the universe, all we really do is move the metaphysical problem of 'Whodunnit?' up a level. It seems we can never get at the source of things.

The fact of the matter is that for any of this to happen, at some point and by some means, something intrinsically mysterious had to occur. That is to say, something had to come into being that is a mystery even to itself, because it having knowledge even of itself would imply some kind of prior phenomenon. If we take a miracle to be a totally inexplicable event that escapes containment or definition of any kind, then existence is miraculous. The source of anything that exists must necessarily be a total mystery even to itself, and that is the miracle. For anything at all to exist, there must at the root of it all be a fundamental 'I dunno.'

Miracles are 100% Positive outcomes. They aren’t generally associated with Cancer in infants, and preemies. Yes look all around us, it’s a miracle, the oceans, the forests, the humans, the birth of humans, the animals, Space, the sky, our brains, look at us all growing and improving, the amazing volcanoes, and Antarctica, snow and rain, the power of the weather etc. it’s all a miracle. Some faithless people say “God show yourself to me, do something that shows that you exist” The answer is He already did, he’s showing us his miracles, daily miracles. The difference between God and the Devil is that God makes Miracles and more. And the devil can only do little magic tricks which seems to impress the ignorant.

A miracle means something impossible and magic means the same. When a human encounters and doesn’t know something, no matter what he or she does, the first thought that that will be created in seconds in the human’s mind is that what is seen is magic. Once many people accept something’s existence, they consider it scientific or natural. Just because an organism like a human considers something as either magic/impossible or scientific/fact doesn’t mean that the universe is divided into magic and science. Everything is one and has only one system, and it doesn’t matter if you call it a system of miracles or science. f you call life a miracle, then everything that exists or doesn’t is a miracle, if you call life a fact, then everything that exists and doesn’t is science.
