I don't believe in religion, I don't believe in God, and I most certainly don't believe in miracles. That being said, despite my disbelief in deity, it is not uncommon for people to be perplexed as to why I still don't believe in their personal "miracles". Here are five reasons to best explain why I don't believe in the miraculous (being defined as "a marvelous event manifesting a supernatural act of a divine agent").
Reason 1: Lack of proof
Theists often say that they have proof of miracles in the bible. What they do not realize is that their holy books prove nothing. The miracles of Moses, Jonah, and Jesus have no more physical proof behind them than the fairy tale "jack and the beanstalk". If you believe that Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, you can only do so by faith, there is no way to prove that that event ever occurred. Some people respond to this with the notion that we need to take the writers word for it. Although it is true that we rely on the method of "taking their word for it" when recording historic texts, it's important to note that I hold those other texts up to the same level of scrutiny. I take peoples word on the documentation of napoleons journey, but if I read that napoleon raised someone from the dead, or turned water into wine, I would be very skeptical.

"Wherever exists the greatest Love, you will always find miracles" Willa Cather
I frequent the History channel a lot, and viewed a Documentary based on people who had what they claimed were miraculous events occurring to save their lives or their children's lives. You should watch it too if you're open minded. I doubt you will be a disbeliever then given you trust the witnesses are bona fide.The Documentary
referred to is the one dealing with angels. My degree is in science so naturaly I don't
view random scenes in the real world as Rarshock test projections. But despite being a healthy sceptic, the evidence was more than compelling and conclusive. - 2 years ago
