Episode notes
Miracles Defy Natural Laws
- Miracles are a temporary suspension or reversal of the laws of nature, making them impossible by definition.
- Skepticism about miracles is rational because the laws of nature govern our universe and make it predictable.
God's Sovereignty Over Nature
- Christians believe miracles are possible because God, who created the laws of nature, can interrupt them at will.
- This belief anchors the foundational miracles of the universe's origin and Jesus' resurrection.
No Formula for Miracles
- There is no formula, password, or measure of faith to guarantee receiving a miracle.
- Miracles are granted at God's discretion to further His purposes, not by human demand or bargaining.
