superphysical occurences attributable to an external input from the perceptible universe also known as miracles attributable to God make sense to you? Here is how I see it. How can an entity who created the life-complex, nuclear fusion, stars, the balance of nature, the Big Bang, a dogs tail wag, the laugh of a baby at funny faces, sexual intercourse, love, a cheesy taste, atoms, electrons, quanta, bees, honey, roses, happiness, fire, water, light (you get the picture). How would an entity who created such wonders and the laws that govern their existence and interaction give me a job if I truely believed in HIM/HER/IT that HIM/HER/IT was truly capable of doing it? Should I ask for a job or ask for a means to survive/progress - whether that means winning the lotto, business, getting hit by a bus and getting compensation?

No. You can ASK...nothing will happen. Or nothing above random coincidence anyway.

U can believe in anything you want. No proof or evidence is necessary for belief.

If "god" perfectly crated the initial conditions for the universe and the laws of physics, then everything is, and will be going according to this perfect plan, so it wont make any difference what you ask for.

But that also means that we dont have any free will.

If "miracles" happen then that means that the original plan was not perfect and changes are being applied as time progresses, therefore god is not perfect.

But seriously, when has any miracle (superphysical occurence) happened that there is concrete evidence for?

The only place for "god" in the scientific world is that "god" is the unexplained initial force behind creating the universe.

Matt 6

Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? [7] 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.



You get all you ever need to fulfill the purpose you came here to do. Every moment is a miracle, because as you are thinking, the power is behind this, not tied up in it.

In unique Buddhism, the placement approximately God's life does not be a piece of discussion. In essence, although, they're neither Atheist nor Agnostics -- God isn't in common terms the placement of their faith, if Buddhism could desire to be seen as a faith in itself. there is, in certainty, a asserting in Buddhism which says, "in case you meet Buddha on the line, kill him." the placement of Buddhism isn't faith; that is Enlightenment. Buddhist prayer is an element of later progression which became included from its touch with distinctive cultures of the lands the place that is now ordinarily got here across. for this reason, like Christianity, it has distinctive sects with differing philosophical stance -- with 2 substantial branches such using fact the Mahayana and the Theravada. in case you will pay a bypass to to India, China, Korea and Japan, you will locate the impression exerted upon it with the aid of the cultures of the international places the place they're now. Buddhism is a pacifist faith. yet in China, you does not even think of that what's seen using fact the "Father of all Martial Arts gadget" could originate from a Buddhist college -- the Shaolin Temple. Shaolin is a sect of the Mahayana Buddhism.

Premise: You've narrowed the options by implying the only possibilities involve Zeus/'Jehovah and the current theories of science, thereby rendering the question meaningless.
