Miraculous

How can you believe in the miraculous and leave out God? This would seem to me like the mental gymnastics that fundamentalists perform when they deny science, that the world is billions of years old, and we are not the center of the universe. For though we are not the center, some say that we are like an average planet in an average star system. They forget that when you do something like average many faces together, they come up with a beautiful face (it has been done, look it up). This averageness of what and where we are, I believe it instead to be a stunning beauty. There is ugliness in the world, but as U2 put it, “Don’t believe the Devil / Don’t believe his book / But the truth is not the same / Without the lies he made up.” In the contrast, we see beauty the clearer. There is more. Carry on.
