Modern Day Miracles
In todays modern man, man is surrounded with the advancement of
time and technology. Man's knowledge in many different fields
have tremendously grown in leaps and bounds. Many unknown past
have been uncovered and have given answers to man's many
questions. More discoveries have been been exposed.
Despite all the modern tools available at every man's disposal,
conflicts still arise. Unproven theories still exist.
Theological scholars have given evidences that man has been in
existence for 6,000 years while scientific theories propose that
humans and other creatures in this world have existed since
millions of years ago.
However, man still continues his quest in search of God. Can we
find God in modern times? Are there modern day miracles that
could lead one to believe that there is a God? Are there
evidences and proofs that can prove that there is a God? Some
people even search the purpose of their own existence in this
world.
If there is no God, did we simply exist by chance? Is the "big
bang" theory or the theory of evolution correct? On the
otherhand, can man really prove that there is no God?
Let us first try to see the things around us including our
modern day gadgets. If we say that cars have existed by chance,
many would strongly disagree with me. Simply because we know
that cars have been invented by man. If we'd say that modern
cars have evolved by themselves since the 1800's, many still
will disagree on that too. Simply because we know that
automotive designers and engineers have made those significant
changes.
Computers are one of the greatest marvels of man's inventions.
They work based on the programs that they are made. It can be
programmed to do any task that a programmer wants - either a
specific job or at a random function. Again, who's behind it's
existence and design? The engineers and programmers.
If a clock manufacturer would design a grandfather clock to
chime differently on every hour it strikes, that design has been
made with a rule on how that clock should operate. Maybe he
could establish a rule for that clock to sound an Ave Maria
music at one o'clock, or some other music at two o'clock, or
three o'clock, etc. Such a rule is a physical law that the clock
follows based on the manufacturer's design.
Why does the sun rise from the east and not from the west? Why
does the earth follow a law of revolving around the sun and on
rotating at its own axis? Who created that rule for the earth
and the planets to follow? Certainly it is not human engineers
but somebody bigger and more powerful than you and me.
Why do humans and other animals have biorhythms? In general, why
do we always wake up in the mornings? Who programmed us to
follow those biorhythms? Certainly it is not the human doctors
or human engineers. Maybe you'd say it is in the genes. Well,
who made those genes? Maybe you'd say it is in the code
encrypted on the DNA's. Well, who programmed those DNA's?
Certainly SOMEBODY had designed us to be what we are and what we
do.
The fact that we can wake up in the next morning, is still a
miracle in itself. The fact that the sun rises in the east and
not on the west is still a miracle in itself. The birth of a
living baby is a miracle in itself. The fact that man can think
and design modern things is a miracle in itself.
If you'd say that you will believe in the existence of God only
if you can see miracles, everything that exist around us and all
that happens around us are miracles in themeselves, would you
now believe in God?
