That's right - because having passed out after opening them wouldn't qualify as a miracle.

It seems to me that people tend to prefer to believe what they want to be real or true, despite evidence to the contrary.

When what you believe is refuted by evidence, you are faced with a choice.

Re: Do you believe in miracles?

I've been giving this poll some additional thought, the whole idea of a miracle is a lot like beauty, it all in the eye of the observer. Many people think a sunrise is a miracle. i have to admit that sunrise is wonderful but to me it's not a miracle. However I would never try to argue with someone who thought it was miraculous. it's all in the mind of the person experiencing the event.

Yes sir, I agree. Miracles are all in one's mind.
