Miracles

The word miracle comes from Latin and usually the dictionaries translate it as "supernatural event, divine intervention".

Better would be to say that miracles are events that can not be explained, in our physical existence of natural laws.

In most cases the term miracle only for events where someone has been healed of disease related to something that has religious significance. But miracles are more than just this. Miracles are magic effects with causes, and the magic is not bound by natural laws of our existence.

The magic can be said to be unnatural or unlawful nature, but only in relation to our concept of natural law.

Materialists deny the existence of both miracles and magic, they simply do not exist - for them.

They are absolutely right, but only if they add just the words, that magic does not exist for them. But unfortunately they usually do not make that extension, but say and believe that magic does not exist at all, either for them or others.

But there are materialists who have studied books about the magic and yet maintain their view that such does not exist. The reasons for this may be several.

There are also many books whose authors are a little too lyrical and ecstatic to be taken seriously by the crass materialists. I have heard objections to this particular in terms of roughly as follows:

"It's a lot of waffle and sputter without the slightest self-criticism. They just claim they are entitled and expect to be believed in them, whatever they blurt out themselves."

Materialists are very serious by themselves in the spiritual. If you have had a profound metaphysical experience, it can easily happen that one is ecstatic. They may be beside themselves with joy.

But materialists will be upset if you are cheering their certainty of spiritual topics. They expect it to be comprehensive and objective, rational, logical and critical, sceptical about what you have experienced. In addition, they want all evidence related to the natural laws that govern our world.

And then we have the most important obstacle, when it comes to convincing them:

They are integrated in an agreed reality where magic is an impossibility. In order to take the magical reality that true, they must deny the only reality they know.

They can not. They want all new experiences to be incorporated into what they already believe to be proven. But their already proven reality rules out the possibility that there can be other realities.

Keep in mind what has already been said:

In conditions of time, the whole exists before its parts. It can be said to select its parts; only those which fits into the pattern can be accepted, everything else is rejected.

Therefore, it is impossible for a convinced materialist to assess magical events in an unbiased manner. Worse, magical events fail to come in the proximity of materialists, for the simple reason that the materialist's mind blocks.

Let us take an analogy from electronics. Perhaps the reader knows what a circuit board is?

It consists of a thin disk that is not electrically conductive. On the album there are narrow copper lines. These lead to a variety of electronic components, transistors, capacitors, diodes and other things. Circuit boards are among other things in television sets and a TV would not work if the circuit boards were incorrect. The components have been soldered which have been carefully calculated functions. They fit into the whole circuit board. The circuit board in turn is a part of television's entirety. Every part is carefully calculated and chosen for this whole.

The electric current must pass through electronic cards thin copper lines in the given direction and pass through all the soldered components of the given order. Otherwise, the TV does not work.

A group of well-embossed agreed reality can be likened to a circuit board. Places to get there one individual to another circuit disrupted function. There must be no distractions. They lead power in the wrong way and give a malfunction at the other. They block!

This is the simple and quite logical explanation as to why it does not get any results when materialists trying to enter the magic board. They do not belong there!

I have a computerized typewriter. It stores the text as magnetic codes on the thin diskettes. One time I tried to send a diskette to a friend in Stockholm. He has a computer of another brand. It turned out that his computer was unable to read the codes that my computer programmed.

His computer and my computer can be said to have agreed two different realities. According to his computer was a text from my computer, unreal, in the sense that it did not exist. In order to understand my computer seems to have his computer had to be modified in a very profound way.

I have a calculator as well. From the calculator aspect the typewriter has no contact with reality, it can not handle math. And the typewriter aspects the calculator to have no contact with reality, it can not find any readable text.

There is no magic in the materialist's reality, no magic and, therefore, no miracles. But the reality is much larger than materialists are magic, and miracles are the natural state. There would be no life, whether on Earth or on other planets, but the magical power. There would be nothing, not even an empty space, if there had been no magical power. The whole of existence, both as a whole and to its parts, is a miracle.

Science estimates that our Solar System began to condense out of cosmic dust more than five billion years ago. Under the influence of gravitational forces a huge discus shape began to rotate. Its central part is pulled in even stronger, which brought about increasing heat. The sun was formed.

At various distances from the Sun was formed from increasingly dense accumulations of dust. They rotated around the sun, attracting more and more of the dust. The planets were formed, including Earth.

A world on fire, because the pressure brought about the heat. It was surrounded by a huge mass of gas. The planet cooled slowly from the mantle and water began to condense, but for millennia it re-vaporized into steam. Finally, the temperature dropped, the rain reached the ground but cooked immediately removed. Down poured the rain, welled up steam. The Gas mantle washed and its variety of different elements landed on the ground and in the ponds which are gradually formed.

Rain and simmering steam accomplished electricity. Lightning storm of titanic grandeur raged around the planet. In doing so, elements linked together to form amino acids in the atmosphere.

Finally, the soil temperature dropped to the level that the down pouring water remained, forming lakes and eventually the ocean. And it continued to rain, an incessant rain that lasted for millions of years.

The water contained massive accumulations of the amino acids were formed in the atmosphere. Under the influence of heat and other energy sources combined amino acids into peptide chains. But peptides are not the same as life. They can best be described as a kind of plastics.

Links of amino acids formed spontaneously and has a very simple structure. Researchers in laboratories have produced gas with the composition as it was assumed in the above atmosphere, exposed to heat and electrical discharges and thereby received the amino acids. In support of this contention, the claim that life may well arise spontaneously. When combined in the correct order, they form proteins, which are basic building blocks of all life. But it is important that they are in the correct order.

Depending on how an amino acid is composed it is likened to the left or right hand. Both types are formed spontaneously in equal amounts. But with the exception of some very few special adaptations are all life is founded on the left variety, the so-called L-amino acid.

A typical protein has 400 amino acids. The probability of 400 amino acids of only L-type to be combined by mere chance is exactly the same as getting heads up 400 times in a row when you throw the heads and tails. Mathematicians have made calculations and found that the probability is the chance of a number value that is expressed by a one result of more than one hundred zeros. There is a number that is many times greater than the number of atoms in all the galaxies in the known universe!

It should therefore be only L-amino acids. But they must be of the right varieties - and there are 20 different. It must be right varieties and they must be combined in the correct order.

Professor Fred Hoyle calculated the probability that it will form a single protein molecule by chance. He found it was like throwing dice five million times and get a six every time. Such a thing is absolutely impossible happen purely by chance.

We can take another parable about the combination of 400 amino acids to a protein molecule:
Imagine you're in a completely darkened room and have a box of tiles. They are white on one side and black on the other. You must pick up 400 pieces and put them in a row. Please feel free to make as many attempts as you want and also have the help of others. Yes, you can have as much room as you like and hold on forever.

The only thing required is that the 400 washers are added in series with the white side up. There must be a single plate with black side up. If you are successful with this so you will have a length of only L-amino acids.

But they must also be of the correct type and placed in the correct order.

We can imagine that the 20 different varieties are expressed by the existence of letters printed on tiles. Only some of them are acceptable. You must get the tiles with the approved letters, no other. And they shall be in the right order, which means that there will be a readable text, which thus consists of 400 characters.

Then they can come up with a protein molecule, which is a building block for living organisms. But to form the simplest unicellular organism need hundreds of millions of protein molecules. These must have formed in the same place and at the same time. A pre-formed protein molecule does not lie still and wait for more to be formed. They change, its chain of amino acids are broken up again. Hundreds of millions have formed within the same time and quite close together, close together.

But the cell consists not only of protein, but also of carbohydrates, including those with complex molecular structure. In addition, lipids, polyphosphates, nucleic acids, then a whole bunch of different kinds of molecules, hundreds of millions. And a cell is not just a lump of clustered molecules. The cell is a complicated thing, a construct of functional art.

It is such an improbability that it is beyond all reason that a single cell could be combined together by chance. And even if it was formed, it would soon crumble and dissolve again. It would appear as something unique for a short time.

It must, in addition to everything else unlikely, also have the ability to reproduce. Otherwise the story was a fast and very definite end.

Procreation secret is in the extremely complicated key, called the DNA molecule. Such is the heart of every living cell, in bacteria as well as with you and all other life forms. The deoxyribonucleic acid, as the full name suggests, is a molecule with very much more complicated structure than the one we have talked about.

It is like a spiral staircase, whose rungs consist of two halves. The combination and sequence of these create a code, which is building instructions for living creatures of all varieties. The code can be varied in an infinite number of ways, to instruct the construction of different species and individuals.

In unicellular organisms instructs the DNA molecule split into two identical cells. But for species with two genders is the amazing feature of the molecule that since the split itself into two halves combined these with halves of one parent.

Within each genus may thus offspring individual and therefore unique variety and nuance, no individual is completely identical to any other in its genus. Every individual is totally unique.

Materialists claim that the extreme complexity of the DNA molecule formed spontaneously, in a purely random way. Its very first copies contained a perfect user for the cell to divide into two. Continued completely random changes of other molecules, so that the cells were collected into clumps. And then went on the random changes so that the cells had different properties to form the building blocks of simple animal shapes.

Over millions of years ago there was a further change in the DNA molecules which brought about the tremendous wealth of different species on our planet. All these changes in the molecule, according to materialism, a purely spontaneous and random.

Darwin developed the theory that species are encountered by struggle for existence. Individuals with lower viability has died out so that the genera propagated by individuals with better viability. The variety of species has arisen through the adaptation to different environments and living conditions.

But for every successful change, there should be hundreds of failures. There must be transitional forms when a species has changed. We have found enormous quantities of fossils. But none of these have been transitional forms, and none have been defective copies. On the contrary, it appears that each species has occurred completely.

Each species as determined by the DNA molecule. Likewise, each individual's characteristics. Materialist claim that the species has now evolved from earlier species. We can find lots of fossils of earlier species. But we have not found any transitional forms. There should be tremendous amounts of fossils of the species changed over a number of generations to get a different form. But we have not found any.

It seems that each species has occurred quite fully developed. A sudden change in the DNA molecule. And this recognizable fact is contrary to the materialist doctrine of struggle for existence and gradual adjustment.

Now, note the following opinion, which is entirely rationally and logically:

Scientific ascertainable facts do not support the theory that mere chance brought about the species.
And what are the consequences? Well this:

Darwin's theory of evolution, which is the basis of materialism in this case, is unscientific. It is not knowing, but a faith.

The people who base their reality on materialism have indeed built on very soft ground. They believe that spontaneous mutations achieved the immense diversity of species.

Scientists have induced mutations in both animals and plants by means of radiation and chemicals. There are many reports of these experiments, scientifically accurate reports with comprehensive statistics. And these statistics show that successful mutations are not very common. Most are unsuccessful.

Actually, it will be just a successful mutation of several hundred unsuccessful. Most of the mutations cause deterioration of properties and therefore less viability. Once again, we note that the species diversity had arisen spontaneously and randomly mutate so it would teem with defective copies among the fossils.

As predicted, similar to the DNA molecule is a spiral staircase. It has also "rungs" and each stick consists of two halves. There are only four different halves, molecules that have names adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine.

They can only be linked together in such a way that draws adenine to thymine and cytosine to guanine. The order of these is the code for building instructions. But it is very particular that the order is exactly right. If we could move the sticks a little at random, there would be new species, but anomalies of different varieties. But it is very rare with any, except when the man poisoned the atmosphere with emissions of toxins or radiation.

Each arts building instructions are carefully composed and certainly not something random.
There is a DNA molecule in each cell. Every single one of the nearly 50 trillion cells in your body contains complete building instructions for the whole body.

Cells are something very small, ranging from one-thousandth of a millimetre to one ten thousandths. To make an idea of size, we can think of one millimetre were enlarged up to be one meter long. A thousandth is then equal to one millimetre.

Still less than the cell is of course the core, and inside the nucleus is the DNA molecule. Spiral form is where densely compacted, but when a cell divides it must be rolled up and cut lengthways in the middle of the rungs. Then currents adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine and another to the cell fluid and complement each DNA half. Two DNA molecules are formed and the cell divides, each gets its own copy of the recently combined DNA molecule.

If you could straighten out such a molecule would, in humans, have a length of one meter. Yet it is packed so tightly that it fits inside the cell nucleus.

Since the origins of life and until the present moment is the question of something that can only be described as miraculous. For if materialism is true, then life is something unnatural, something that stands in contrast to the well-established laws of nature. There is no life on our planet - if materialism is true.

Mathematics is an exact science. No rational and logical thinking person can question the math. And with this precise and absolutely reliable science, it is proven that life can not arise through spontaneous and random processes. Not even life's most basic building blocks may have formed spontaneously, far less complicated life and richly nuanced richness. The process is controlled.

Driven by someone who has consciousness, knowledge, will and power of such a vast scale that we are not able to make this with all our human thinking. We're like worms on Somebody's palm. Earthworms can not even imagine what a hand is.

We are like earthworms, suitable for life and experiencing of life in earthworm way - but not at all suited to understand what is better than this. Nevertheless, we believe we know how the larger reality.

A few years ago, I discussed microbiology with a true materialist friend. I quoted a researcher, who equated the DNA molecule with an encyclopaedia of a thousand bands with a thousand pages each. Each word would be equivalent to a stick in the DNA and the need to form meaningful sentences. Not one word was missing, no superfluous words were found.

I expressed my firm belief that DNA is the result of constructive thinking. But his friend countered with something he had read:

If you put a group of chimpanzees to tap completely randomly on typewriters, so it would sooner or later formed words and even whole sentences. Foresaw that the monkeys were immortal and could continue to tap a typewriter for thousands of years, they would eventually completely random able to write an encyclopaedia.

That's pure nonsense, an extremely contrived and also incredibly foolish attempt to explain away the miraculous in life. Sure can form words by chance if you hit the keys on a typewriter completely at random. But between each such random word there would be meaningless combinations of letters. To cast down would result in meaningful text, there must be spaces between the words and the words must be linked. Chance would not be able to produce a single book, not even a hundred pages, with meaningful text even if the process went on for billions of years.

It is five billion years ago our planet was formed and the first two or three billions of years later became the environment such that the first unicellular life forms could arise. But not even one billion times one billion years would have chance to produce the miracle we know as the DNA molecule.

It is a miracle, due to the magical reality in which our existence is just like a little speck of dust, suspended in the air over a huge scene.

Just a speck of dust, our whole existence, throughout the universe we are in. A speck of dust with only three spatial dimensions and one time dimension. A microcosm. And this microscopic world can be simultaneously perceived as a stage its established role booklet and its specific rules. But it is floating, this speck of dust theatre, in the light over a much larger theatre - whose rules are of a different nature.

A miracle theatre. And the dust grain is part of the props.
