The achievement in successfully thwarting the Devine movement is indeed a miracle to the villagers as the Devine is thought as an indomitable developer. The villagers’ thought can be proven in the beginning of the movie when Ruby fails to influence the villagers to sign for the petition so as to endorse the act of Joe irrigating his beanfield. The villagers are petrified to do so because they feel that the Devine is an immensely powerful company. In short, miracle epitomizes achievement as Joe’s efforts to irrigate the beanfield success in suppressing the impregnable Devine to expand their

Hume, in a literary document, wrote about the idea of a miracle, and explains that no such miracle can exist and, linking to religion with miracles, God cannot exist by reason and rationality (Document 2). His explanations involved mechanics employed in philosophy which view religion paradoxical to the new discoveries. Oppositions continued to harass the reputation of

For instance, “ a miracle? Yes. Absolutely. A miracle of the human mind. Once again, in the face of grave danger, my psyche used dissociation to help me survive.
Twain had the definition of miracle too broad. He might have meant doing the impossible or something similar. In Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the part when the duke and the king set a show and trick peoples’ money, things just went too well. The duke said, “Greenhorns, flatheads! I knew the first house would keep mum and let the rest of the town get roped in; and I knew they'd lay for us the third night, and consider it was their turn now.

First, the example of Mary giving birth to Jesus as a virgin is an impossible event because there was no such technology back in the day that allowed this. Next, the example of Jesus walking on water is impossible due to the fact that law of gravity still comes into play. Seller states, “The whole Christian worldview entails the subordination of reality, identity, and causality to the whims of an alleged God for whom there is no evidence and who is therefore to be accepted on faith.” From stating this, he means that even though there is no evidence to prove that any of these events actually happened, the fact that these miracles are a part of what connects Christianity to the Scientific Revolution and it just needs to be
