Do you believe in miracles?

I don't. So many people die waiting for miracles. If there are miracles, it is because God plays favorites. I see no proof of miracles.

Yes.

Yes I doo believables in da so called miracles! Every times I is ams lookings at da Great Liechtenstein Country I is ams remind of what a miracle we ams!

Side: Yes.

From Merriam Webster, under 'full definition':

1

: an extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs

2

: an extremely outstanding or unusual event, thing, or accomplishment

While definition #1 includes divine intervention, which cannot be lent credence objectively, definition #2 carries no such constraint. There are numerous cases where the odds against the desired outcome are massive, but these do occur; By definition 2, recovery from an illness/condition with a terminal prognosis, well as winning the lottery, and the discovery of antibiotics all qualify as miracles- and all of these do happen or have happened.

So I will say yes, I believe in miracles, as they have been observed to happen. I suspect, however, that the debate creator was leaning towards definition 1, which as I've stated doesn't carry any objective credibility.

-_- That ain't a miracle.

Side: Yes.

Miracles are in the mind of the beholder. If someone thinks a person was cured from a disease or can walk again, such a person cannot be persuaded against the cause of that circumstance being a miracle.

Side: Yes.

No. Everything that has ever been studied can be explained by the laws of physics. There is no (valid) evidence that a miracle has ever occurred.
