Miracles

This is in response to Alex's post (NHN). I believe miracles do not exist. Specific events occur in a fascinating order at opportune moments in time, but they are not miracles. If something amazing happens it is because some one did something right. Many look to a god and say that said god was the reason for something. I believe that things will happen if you take the responsibility to make them happen. It does not make them any less amazing for happening if they are explained. It is still incredible that Doctors save peoples lives. In older times people believed in miracles and witch doctors and magic. They would use some ingredients that had "healing properties." These "healing properties" were just correct ingredients that they chose on coincidence and decided to experiment with. Now we have doctors that know what they are doing and how medicine reacts with the human body, but it is amazing nonetheless. As for the question on whether knowing how things work will cause life to be less exciting, my answer is that life will always be exciting. The reason is because there is always room for error. The reason people's lives are so interesting today is because everyone thinks in a different way, and also because people make mistakes. Things don't always go as planned and they never will, and that is why life is so great.
