Is that like in Star Trek when they realise they can save the person with some gadget of the week which would be handy to have again next week but they conveniently forget about it?
Your rejection of reality is a miracle?
Something like that.
Oh dear, have we got another dadologist?
No, I sure don't.You do realise that the only reason that sort of thing is needed is because story writers have put themselves in a corner they can't escape from without some ridiculous thing?
If you don't know what a miracle is, may I suggest you dispense with trying to convince us we don't either?Is that what you are claiming a miracle is?
No, you didn't.BTW, back in the olden days, we had miracles like God's booming voice from heaven, angels appearing flying down from the sky and Jesus walking on water.
One word: dispensationalism.Why doesn't this kind of miracle happen any more?
Rorschach?Why is it only images appearing on walls, or on toast, or in fences?
No, I sure don't.
If you don't know what a miracle is, may I suggest you dispense with trying to convince us we don't either?
No, you didn't.
Israel did.
Remember Israel?
We call it the "Promised Land."
One word: dispensationalism.
Rorschach?
The other way around: a miracle is a rejection of reality.
Well, you do now, doncha?
I was going by what you said, when you agreed with me that it was the same as "in Star Trek when they realise they can save the person with some gadget of the week which would be handy to have again next week but they conveniently forget about it?"
Oh, are you reduced to quibbling over words now instead of addressing the point? I'll take that as conceding the point, because surely if you had a counter argument you would have used it.
I think a better explanation is: an increased knowledge of how the world works.
And dispensationalism would be: an excuse trotted out to explain why all these amazing things happened in the Bible just don't happen anymore.

So which is it? Or did you change your mind in the intervening two hours?
Tectonic plates can create mountians, just not fast enough for the biblical timeline.
The Role of Plate Tectonics in Mountain Building
Read it again, it needed a steel frame to keep it together otherwise it would have broken it's back.
Without iron straps around the ark the wood would not have taken the strain.
Why do you all go to lying creationist sites to get your information? what do you expect them to say?
they are only ever going to tell you what they want you to believe to them the truth means nothing.
Creationism for those site are a Business. they know they can tell you anything and you will all believe it,
they feed it to you and you eat it all up.
Why don't you people ever check to see if what they are telling you is the truth? you owe it to your God to check.
A miracle is an exception to reality, not a rejection of it.
Double-talk, which is all you have. Your burecrats required it.

Unlike Noah, one would think, Huibers had to have his ark conform to a vast array of rules and regulations. For example, fire-safety standards meant having to apply three coats of fire-retardant varnish. Also, a special mooring anchor had to be installed, so as to qualify the construction as a building (house boat), rather than a vessel.2
Bureaucracy was also the reason for having to build it on floating steel barges as well as to install a heavy steel reinforcing frame. Lest critics claim that this is proof that it would have been impossible to build a wooden vessel that size, Huibers, an experienced worker with wood, says it would actually have been much easier to make a wooden ark"
Didn't bother to mention that did you.
