As far as I know, scientists still havent disproved a single thing from the Bible...

and nor do I wish them to. but I'm a scientist by trade, and view the Bible as legend - embellished truth. I have no doubt that Jesus Christ existed - it's the "son of god" part that I struggle with. your analogy, while alien to me, is compelling, and says a lot about how you view your relationship with God. my entire family (me excepted) is Christian/Catholic, and for lack of a better phrase, "you people" intrigue me.

some people see improbable events as miracles. I see all the instances where probability won and shake my head at selective perception. my perception of the world is limited, yet I haven't seen anything to turn it on its head. perhaps you have.

Its not what I saw that turned me to God and Jesus... It was a moment in my life... Most of the time, thats what it is... Sometimes, its a miracle. Take for example, I know someone who sold drugs and was caught... He had to go to the city he was dealing and face a sentence (he plead guilty). Well, in the meantime, life changed him, people around him gathered and offered prayer. His wife was due in November... He turned to God in a way that would be pleasing to him...

Long story short, this person was being told 1 year minimum in jail and possibly 3 years max... Well, through what I believe to be by prayer only, God effected the outcome and gave this man only 6 months house arrest and 3 years probation. The case before this guys, he had the same charges and got 1 1/2 years... Take what you want from it but this guy gets to spend his time with his just born child and go to church as a family... Its a good story and I give credit to God.
