If I throw a dice with one billion sides and number one ends out on top of the dice, it would still not be considered supernatural. But some people would become so stunned by the result (assuming that they placed their bet on number one) that they would like to thank God for the positive outcome. Throw the dice several billions of times and the result won't be shocking anymore.
Underlined: Of course you would. People does and sees billions of things throughout their lifetimes. At least a dozen events should end up unexplainable, which is where God fills their gap. |
Its all a matter of perspective on the likelihood of something happening, though.
To an atheist, something that has a 1 in 1 billion chance of happening is always a matter of fortunate probability with absolutely no external probabilities. To a Christian, there is the possibility of external influences. The issue of the dice is that you believe the dice is thrown a billion times, and it is right once. But in the cases I am talking about, the dice is usually thrown once and always lands. If you rolled a billion sided dice a thousand times, and it rolled on the number every time, in a row, you would still believe you were the one out of a number I can't put enough zeroes to that it was chance. At some point, you should believe that even the irrational possibility of external influence becomes more plausible, because you've seen it far too often.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
