Actual miraculous material is in our hands when we hold our bibles. I'm not speaking of its remarkable preservation, publication, and dissemination, although we can certainly find the miraculous in that. I'm speaking of the prophetic passages contained therein that have no explanation other than One who stands outside time directing the events of our existence toward events that shout out the existence of God.

Professor Peter Stoner wrote in "Science Speaks" of the probability of just the 7 major prophecies of the Messiah coming to pass by mere happenstance. Professor Stoner was an expert in probability and statistics. He said it was 1 chance out of 1017 that the fulfillment of those prophecies was accidental. He then described that number. He said it was the same as filling Texas 3 feet deep with silver dollars, painting one of them blue, stiring them all about, and then having a blindfolded person given the chance to bend over and pick up a silver dollar. For it to be the blue silver dollar...that would be one chance out of 1017 silver dollars. In short it was not accidental. We hold the miraculous in our hands.

Don’t remember exactly where or when I read that glaring concept that treats miracles as a commoditys..

BUT; smell of the truth of it.. penetrated my “SPIRIT” like a bolt of lightning..
A sweet lingering after taste with a chocolaty finish if I remember correctly..

MY “FETUS” whom I choose to call my sister is a seven month
“premmie” which is now in her sixties as a fugitive from abortion... is a definite “Miracle”... almost a six month premmie..

AND some wonder if a FETUS is an actual BABY?....
A MIRACLE would be ME NOT calling them MORONS....
