Today's science does that.

And they're very good at it.
A God who could intervene in the world to do the miraculous, is much less impressive to me than a God who could create a world in which He didn't have to.

You'll have to be more specific on what are demonic practices and your source on that. Just saying "All that stuff" is not very accurate as to why.
Attempting to tap into some kind of cosmic energy (chi, ki, whatever) in order to focus it on to something you're doing is doing nothing more than beaconing the demonic world.

Stacking seven bricks on top of each other, laying your hand on the top brick, and making the sixth brick down shatter w/o damaging any of the other bricks is playing with fire.

What about a God that can do both?

That sounds right. That's a good gauge of good and evil, for sure.
I've never run into that new age stuff much.
Ok...one time. Because of a girl, of course. I'm sure I could have fixed her. lol

Well then "faith healing" isn't all that impressive if it's just a ordinary effect like the placebo effect. (And here I thought it was more "exciting"..)
Correct-u-mundo - it is not impressive in the least. And often faked by charlatans. No argument.

and so you're saying that academics and all human intellect is devoid of the human spirit?
Academics appeals to the mind, truth appeals to the spirit.

Science has nothing to do with making things look unnecessary.
I'm gonna disagree on that.

A good example is science's study of the efficacy of prayer.

You don't seem to understand where the meaning of the word truth comes from.
I'm talking about Biblical truth, not scientific truth.

Biblical truth says Jesus walked on water.

Scientific truth says Pluto was our ninth planet at one time.

If it's not a miracle, then in what way does it apply to the "evidence of miracles" title of this thread?
