Miracles and Science

Miracles or Signs? John 6 (p.814) A sign points to something. Miracles don’t produce faith – they confirm faith. Do you want the miracle, or Jesus? The KEY sign = the resurrection. Miracles are possible and real.

Understanding Miracles and Science 1.There is a natural and supernatural world. –Miracles happen when our supernatural God interacts with our (His) natural world. –Thus, God is personal, not distant.

Understanding Miracles and Science 2. A miracle is God interacting in the world. –Suspending natural laws or using other natural laws? –Coincidences? –God interacts so that beliers can be reminded and strengthened.

Understanding Miracles and Science 3.Science is not the enemy, but a way of gaining knowledge. –You can learn about the Creator through science. –Scientific knowledge – through the 5 senses only; experimentation and replication.

Understanding Miracles and Science 4.Science cannot give us spiritual knowledge or ultimate meaning. –Spiritual KNOWLEDGE – not opinions. –God wants us to think!

How much do you have to see to fully believe? Do you want the miracle, or God?
