Yes, I believe, for example, that when God parted the Red Sea- HE did so miraculously.

Do you think the stars forming out of gas clouds out in the galaxy are created by God? Are they any less created by God that our own Sun? Was our Sun created miraculously? If so such a formulation is useless - while supposing that it formed through natural forces is useful.

The Bible says I was created “from dust” and “to dust” I will return. But I also know that I was created through cellular processes involving DNA.

Was my creation “from dust” less literal than the creation of Adam “from dust”?

So..you believe in miracles.

If one regresses the origin of the universe, yes the origin of the sun was supernatural.

I am reminded of a story told by J.P.Moreland. He said upon trying to answer a question he had asked what is she doing? She could have answered, "I am applying heat to a kettle of water and the energy is transferred through the copper bottom of a kettle, transferred to the water, the water molecules begin to move faster and faster until the surface tension of the water is broken and water molecules escape as gas into the atmosphere". OR, she could have just said, "I am heating water to make tea,...do you want some." Both answers, in context, are accurate.

Have you read "Signature In The Cell"? I think you would like it. I would enjoy getting your take on it.
