But emotionalism is the only way to account for believing in miracles, because there is no rational explanation.

“But emotionalism is the only way to account for believing in miracles, because there is no rational explanation.”

It depends on what you mean by “rational explanation.”

If they means “I couldn’t do it,” well, right.

But the point is, miracles are supernatural events. Not lab experiments. Not repeatable by us. We can’t do them.

Witness creation. Where did it come from? Whatever building blocks you believe started things off, where did they come from?

If you think matter is eternal, is that rational? If not, where did it come from? If you go back far enough, something irrational happened. . .
