Are Miracles Hoaxes?

You’re in a conversation and someone says, “Miracles are impossible. They’re either hoaxes, or just the name that people gave to phenomena before we had scientific explanations for them.” What would you say? Assumptions aren’t arguments. But they often pretend to be arguments. When someone says, that miracles are impossible, they’re not actually arguing for a view. They’re just assuming it and expecting you to agree. Don’t. Not only are miracles possible, but they’re often the best explanation for amazing events—especially those recorded in Scripture. So the next time someone says, “miracles are impossible,” here are three things to remember: First, ruling out miracles isn’t a scientific conclusion, it’s a worldview called naturalism. Second, miracles are often the simplest explanations for events recorded in Scripture. Third, ancient people didn’t need science to recognize a miracle when they saw one.
