“A miracle to confound natural law, a baffling reversal of the inevitable consequences . . . a miracle. . . . An act of high imagination -- daring and lurid and impossible. Yes, a cartoon of the mind.”
“Miracles do not, in fact, break the laws of nature.”
“Miracles do not go against the laws of nature; we only think that because we do not know nature's laws.”
“Behind every coincidence, every stroke of luck, and every miracle, there is inevitably a cold and calculating mind.”
“Miracles, contrary to popular belief, do not just happen. A miracle is the achievement of the impossible, and it is only when we put aside out greed, anger, pride and prejudice so that our minds are open and ready to accept it, that a miracle can occur.”
“The believer in magic and miracles reflects on how to impose a law on nature--: and, in brief, the religious cult is the outcome of this reflection.”
