Science has stolen most of our miracles.

So much of this life is communication, connection.
Vocabulary is the cause of much anger.

What if I called Dinosaurs Dragons?
What if I called Medicine Potions?
What if I called Chemists Wizards?
What if I called Science Magic?

People claim God lives in the gaps. Well the more science discovers the more God vanishes. Unless God doesn't live in the gaps...

What other sort of world could we live in?
Of course if we research and experiment we will find how things work.

Let me suggest that if magic were real we of course would research and study it. After much of that we would be able to not only master it but to predict it. After which we would be able to teach it.

Thus we would no longer consider it magic. Magic would simply become another science we study.

If I scratch flint together I get fire...so this isn't magic. Once understood magic become science.

If I were to wave my wand and say Incendio! I get fire...so this isn't magic either. It would only be matter of time before the scientists in the lab would slow down the footage, test the chemical reaction and finally understand how this phenomenon occurs.

Has science stolen our miracles or has science given us a different vocabulary for the same phenomenons throughout time?

If Jesus were around today I'm sure after enough miracles the scientists would be able to determine how they occurred. Does that mean they are no longer miracles? Does that mean there is no God? Does that mean Jesus isn't God?

No.

It simply means we live in a reality with laws and those laws can be understood. Through that understanding can come manipulation and through manipulation, expression. We wouldn't be able to exist if the affect of every cause was random or unpredictable. If we never knew what plant would sprout from the same seed. If we never knew when the sun will rise again. If we never knew how to clean a wound.

Expression leads to communication
.
So much of this life is communication, connection.
Vocabulary is the cause of so much anger.

What if I called Dinosaurs Dragons?
What if I called Medicine Potions?
What if I called Chemists Wizards?
What if I called Science Magic?

Would my vocabulary cause so much anger?

Miracles have given us most of our science.
