a view on miracles

Hi! first Blog. What about the value in placebos that actually help. Sugar pills therefore are medicine then. In that way 'faith' is really the miracle. Self-healing perhaps. It does not mean it isn't real. Like the sky to a blind man. There is not a sky for him but the sky is still truth. Don't get me wrong, I respect your beliefs, I just don't see what the big deal is. Whatever works is good. I appreciate feedback. Thanks!

Welcome to the forums,


Welcome to the forums, asufi.

You don't see what the big deal is?  Spend a little time reading posts on this forum, paying special attention to thoughts about the dangers of religion.

Try this to start.

thanks for feedback

I enjoyed that reading.  I have been searching all of my life for truths.  I hate math, so I really hope it is not the only true science.  Anyway, i described my beliefs to an x professor from Western and he suggested that I read about Sufi.  I feel very akin to those beliefs, the kind of respect for all that Dawkin spoke of in the reading you invited me to view.  I am not familiar with all of the terms used around this site, but I want to learn more.Kiss

my regards, asufi

Hang Around Awhile!

Just hang around the forums for awhile and you'll learn more than you can imagine.

Some of the folks here are well versed in the sciences and can discuss in detail.

There's plenty of science, philosophy, common sense and a few laughs along the way.
