Man Wakes From 19-Year Coma

You know, lots of naysayers of religion in general and Christianity in particular use the question "How come there aren't any miracles these days like there were in Biblical times?" as a means of trying to debunk God and His works as myth. This news article about the man coming out of a 19 year coma is proof that the Almighty Father is still working miracles among His people in the year 2003. There are probably many, many other miracles, large and small, happening all over the world, everyday. It's a big world, and we just aren't able to be aware of them all.

Why would you classify this as a miracle...? Just because you are unable to explain it...? You just confirmed why most people don't believe in miracles -- because other people are so quick to attach the word to any inexplicable happening. But it doesn't necessarily mean these events happen at the hand of God (or whatever), does it...?

Yeah, in the early days of christ, there wasn't much science, only religion. So religion was the solution for everything wat man couldn't explain!
That's why there are so many different religions And that's the reason why religion was so popular those days.

So how to explain there is a almighty god.
Simpel, there has to be someone, like man himself, but supernatural who could do such unexplaineble things like, waking a man from coma, creating earth etc. So God was an answer for that.

Today science can actually explain many of these former unexplainable things, but still not everything. So that's the reason there aren't as many miracles as in the biblical times.

Science evolved and still is getting more and more popular these days. Fact is, when more and more scientificly is explained the boring life gets. So we now are looking to the stars. Is there life out there, are we alone? Religion did that also many years ago. The ancient Pharaos believed in life after dead at the orion stars.

Religion has only focussed on interhuman relationships and rules how to behave. So nowadays the islamic religion for example is a comfortable religion for many people. When you live by the fives simple main rules of islamic believe, you will be excepted, and big number of people can live together under these rules. Without religion there wasn't much unity and there would be many more little inefficient and unhappy groups of people.

Today, religion better stop looking back to the good old biblical days, but better evolve itself!

I submit that apparent miracles diminish as we allow ourselves to be lulled into a misguided notion that science has all the answers.
As other posters have noted, science can't explain it all.

That God does or does not exist is a question each person must answer. I find God in the fact that there aren't answers for everything. I find God in the better natures of people, which regardless of culture, have discovered there are some immutable laws, such as the unalienable right to life. That doesn't mean human nature always acts in accordance with that law, but the law exists nonetheless.

So with that as a premise I find it easy to claim that if I don't see miracles, it's because I've allowed myself to become too cynical and skeptical. And that's an attitude shortcoming on my part -- because my faith in God tells me that He is always there and always loves, and therefore that there is reason for hope and, yes, miracles.

Keep the faith.

Miracles happen every day. In this day and age, anything that occurs that might not be expected could be considered a miracle.

Nature has only one principle law. Only the fittest will survive. So for the weak, God is their hope for better.

Let me make it clear, science has indeed and thankfully not all the answers, but you confirm my notions that you find God in everything that man can not rationally explain.

I think, and that's just my opinion, it's too easy to say that. It's not in man's nature, because one of the things that man made intelligent is curiosity, thus the need to explain why something happens as they do. I think that you find the easy answer in God, the outdated biblical way. The difficult answer is science. Note that in the biblical days religion was the science of those days for explaining everything in a simpel comprehensible way.

Also science constantly evolves. When an error is found it will be corrected instantly.
What I regret is the stiffness of religion to correct errors it made. "God doesn't make errors" is just another easy and ignorance answer for that.

Another thing what is realy man's nature is the will to survive. So as I said earlier and with that I agree with you that religion made it possible to live with respect to life with eachother. In other perspective religion has developed those laws and thus again, it can be seen as science at it's best.

So what I try to say, don't try to miracle the unexplainable, because religion isn't good at that, but use, evolve and develop religion with what it is good at! A modern religion will become more popular I think.

So science = religion, but then again it is not...
Fact is, we can't live without them and both are our tools wich made us who we are today and helped us survive and better ourselves in many different ways. They both can also be, and sadly already have been, misused to make advantage of man's ignorance, naive and innocence..

Science also seems to be the "easy" answer, the end-all-be-all. But, there are countless questions science can't answer, because scientific proof can only be based on showing that something is a fact by repeating the event in the presence of the person questioning the fact. It requires a controlled environment with observations/data drawn from repeated experiments.

If the scientific method was the only method of proving something, you couldnt prove that you went to your first period class or that an historical figure existed. You can't repeat those events in a controlled situation. Obviously you need legal-historical proof to show these things occurred.

Science is only good for proving repeatable things. So, I think it is safe to say that these "un-repeatable" occurences could be counted as miracles. Isn't that what a miracle is?

My husband died at the age of 34, 53 days ago. He fell coming into the house from the garage (freak accident). He was in NICU for seven days. I thought we were taking him there for a concussion. Who would think a death from something as simple as a fall. I got on the emotional roller coaster ride for five days, then I let my worries go...I turned it all over to God because I know that I have no control over who lives or dies. My husband's death is by no means a miracle, but God loves us, and my husband is now experiencing joy that we do not know. God loves us, and He very much works in mysterious ways. Never question Him....this life is only minor compared to what He has in store for us. Always keep Faith, Hope, and Love in your heart.

Thank you, ma'am. I'm sorry for the passing of your husband.

The Church shows restraint about talk of miracles, and only speaks of a possible "miracle" in cases of instantaneous and complete recovery. Terry Wallis' recovery is a beautiful thing, so let's thank God for it; still, he has a long way to go.

The other beautiful thing in this story is the example of Mrs. Wallis' courage and faithfulness to her husband and to her marriage, even in sickness as in health, for so many years. That's why I posted the item.

All I have to say is...

Call it what you want

Say what you want

and let people call it what they want, let them make it what they want because that is what makes life are opinions...
