MIRACLES NEVER CREATE

SO WHY THINK GOD DOES THEM

Miracles are events like magic. Religion says God does them. God makes all things out of nothing so he can do them. Making things out of nothing is a miracle.

Miracles are said by religion to imply creation out of nothing. Religion says God creates the miracle healing of the sick. He creates the apparition of the Virgin Mary. He has to move her from Heaven to earth by recreating her on earth. He creates his voice from Heaven. So miracles are acts of creation out of nothing. If they come from nature, they can be understood by science if not now then some day so it would make no sense to call them supernatural. Science cannot comprehend or explain anything coming from nothing. Miracles imply an absurdity. Even the idea of God making something out of nothing is insanity. The distance between something and nothing is infinite so God would need to be infinite to bring something out of nothing. If he is infinite, that means all power is his and there is no power that exists outside him, so he has made all things out of himself.

If God is a something that is like nothing but not exactly nothing and which caused all things science still will never understand him or discover him and has made all things out of himself then the insanity is avoided. But most authenticated miracles deny this God.

There are no such miracles as an eye appearing in an empty socket or a new leg growing. If the healing miracles reported by the Church of Rome are true why do we not have eyes appearing in empty sockets or people instantly growing amputated feet? This is a question that the Church cannot answer for there is no answer.

No being would miraculously cure people and refuse to do the type of miracle in which a limb or organ that is missing is recreated especially if miracles are intended to be signs. There may be either misunderstanding or deception involved in miracle reports when they are all rather pathetic. There being no creation miracles means that all miracles could be hoaxes or simply that creation miracles are not done which is silly for if they are not done then no signs are done.

The Christian will say that the person who is cured of a disease by divine power is the recipient of a creation miracle for God has created health where there was sickness implying that God does not need to do anything as dramatic as replacing lost body parts. God made supposedly made him or her and the cure out of nothing. That assumes that nothing can come from nothing but if that is true then there is no God and if creation could come from nothing there is no need for God. God is supposed to be the cause of his own existence meaning that he came out of literally nothing. And all miracles are creation miracles in some sense. For example, in visions God creates a unique and rare power to see them and when he heals a person miraculously of cancer he has to create health where there was devastated tissue. But when God does creation miracles like that and does not recreate legs and eyes it shows that the miracles are probably misunderstandings or are lies. We reject the view that creation miracles happen for you cannot verify that they really came from nothing. To exploit them as evidence of creation is to beg the question. The miracles are so weird that we cannot rely on them as signs of the religion in which God’s truth is preserved.

Miracles are creation acts of God – bringing out of nothing. If God does miracles then he will only do them among people who believe in creation, that is making out of nothing. But the Jews didn’t believe in it as an official doctrine and the Old Testament says that miracles happened among the Jews and reports bigger ones than any reported in the time of Jesus Christ. Now nobody can prove that God really created in any miracle. He might just use the existing forces of nature to do the wonders. For example, he might use our proneness to illusion and error to make us think that a miracle happened or that somebody healthy had cancer that was thought to have disappeared inexplicably. To put down a miracle as a creation act of God is to guess. If we have to guess then miracles are no good. If we have to guess that miracles are the work of God then why not simply guess that there is a God? You are still guessing anyway. It would be better to simply guess that there is a God than to guess that there is a God and he does miracles for better one guess than two. Remember, it is decency and rationality to keep things simple. To cite miracles as evidence for God or creator or a religion is the same as citing the sawing of a woman in half and putting her together again as proof of a magician’s healing powers.

CAN’T BELIEVE BECAUSE OF PANTHEISM

The belief that there is one God who has no parts or body but who is the creation is called pantheism. The separateness between things, like how lion and men are not the same being, is written off as an illusion for all is one spirit.

Some say that separation is an illusion. But it still evident that separation exists. They are in the same category of insanity as those who say that evil is an illusion and doesn’t exist are in. They still experience evil so the illusion is evil and evil exists after all. Separation then is not an illusion. Its real.

God would not become the universe to suffer.

All who believe in God as an infinite spirit are pantheists for if the Creator is infinite then there can be no power that is not his and if he is one spirit that has no parts then he is his power. So it follows that he has made all things from himself and that separation of any kind is an illusion because God existed when there was no time and before time was and so he cannot change. When we do evil God does evil for we are God. If we sin God sins so to pray to God is to honour what is worse than the Devil. But if we are God we have the right to be as evil as we please.

Miracles then are incoherent nonsense. If miracles verify and express a God who has created out of nothing and who is therefore infinite and who claims to be separate from the creation though this is unintelligible. If nature is God and we are God as pantheism states then the idea of miracles being signs is crazy for God should not need them for himself. It is as bad as the Hindu idea of God thinking he is one of us and sending a guru to enlighten himself and remind himself that he is God. Miracles are madness and they are evil if God sins in us and we can’t believe in their message. It is dangerous to believe in them at all for they have nature going haywire and Heaven knows what it is up to when that happens. It is evil to believe anything if such a untrustworthy God is ruling nature.

Since belief in an infinite God is always closeted pantheism (see my God is a Self-Contradictory Notion) it follows that miracles cannot be supernatural if God is nature. But if they are not supernatural why should we take a miracle as a sign any more than we should take somebody breaking a world record, a highly unusual event, as a sign? We would be God if pantheism is true so there would be no sense in miracles for that would be God doing miracles to God to convince God that he exists. A God who made them necessary though he could have made us know what he wants us to know without them for we are him and he us is not an honest God and is only a show-off.

CONCLUSION

Christians can't see if a miracle comes from nothing. They only guess it. If they have to guess then they can't say that God is doing the miracle. So the miracle then is not a sign from Heaven at all. It is just a curiosity.
