“Of course not! Mendel was a scientist as well as a theologian. He was looking for God's laws, not God himself. Perhaps he would acknowledge that the only “mystical intervention” that God ever did was “in the Beginning” — and He's been pretty much keeping “hands-off” ever since (except for occasional and comparatively rare direct interventions — which we call “miracles” because we don't know what else to call them.)”

And I would agree. I think God created a universe that is self consistent and progresses according to the natural laws that God designed.

Science only works when we make that assumption - that things are working according to natural laws.

Belief in a law giver is optional. But to me it logically follows that a universe created and unfolding according to natural laws had a law giver.

So, you do believe in miracles. (Sorry I am coming in so late on the thread.....I'll try to read and catch up.)
