what isn't a miracle?
quote:
Like I said before, if the Earth naturally produced f-18s instead of mountains, it'd be a universally acknowledged miracle.
Einstein once said "You either beleive everything or nothing is a miracle" Clearly the former is more apparent if you look around!
I would consider an eco-sytem as complex and diverse as ours to be more of a miracle that a lump of metal in the shape of an F-18.

Re: what isn't a miracle?
I agree that life on Earth appears to be a miracle, regardless of it's origin, i.e. as a natural property of matter, or designed by God. The chance of the earth producing an F18, is as likely as the earth growing a human from a seed - very improbably.
