If Only We Could Not Explain It

The dictionary defines a miracle as,an effect or extraordinary event in the physical world that surpasses all known human or natural powers and is ascribed to a supernatural cause, or such an effect or event manifesting or considered as a work of God. I doubt that many people in this world actually know or have seen what a true miracle is. We have seen many instances in the media where people or animals do extraordinary things. We have also seen nature do some equally extraordinary things. Between a mother lifting a car off of her whining child, to the miraculous power of nature and it's capability of destruction.

Today's media covers a lot of stories about miracles and simply miraculous event. But even with coverage and hype brought to us, we just can't explain how or why things happen. In any case there is a scientific reason or theory as to how and why the event happened. For instance, the cases in which a mother no larger than 130 pounds lifts a 2000 pound car off her child when it was crying for help.

The power of "mother nature," is that miraculous? In a day, a whole city can be in ruins because of nature. Some people would argue that those events may be a work of God. But yet again, science has an explanation for the occurrence. We will never see the true miraculousness of mother nature until one day she destroys us all. Then we might be able to say that is a true work of God.

I don't understand how something with an explanation can be a miracle. Somehow, science is always able to provide at least an estimate on how or why something happened.. It is possible that it is just an extra surge of adrenaline in a mothers body when she hears her child whining, that is able to make her lift a car off of it. In the same instance science can explain how a hurricane formed and why the conditions were perfect in the area for it to be made. And then it just happened to be moving in the direction of New Orleans.
