Miracles verses Science

By -
I came across an update on Facebook by one of my Facebook friends yesterday. He put up a question, trying to get opinions on which of Science or Miracles does one believes in?

You'll see a number of comments. I did commented on the update and I want to share my opinion (my comments) on the blog, today.


Before You read my opinion, what would you have commented if you were to give your opinion on this?

Now, let's see my comments:



Both are real
Science is a Miracle, the miracle of nature.
Miracle can be Science as well. Sometimes, what we see as miracles, could be God allowing science to happen, science that has not yet been discovered/proven, and whose knowledge hasn't been acquired by humans.


Science isn't Man's Work. They are both God's work. Science is only God allowing Man to use the talent and wisdom He placed in him to create solutions for his problems. That's why I can't say one is greater than the other. They are both meant to serve their purposes. That's how God made them. I'm a Believer, but I can't just advice people or tell people that 'everything is God', because people have misunderstood it and their beliefs have made them unable to use their brain and apply the mental abilities God gave them. As you said: "Science is the conscious and effective use of our minds to improve our world", that Mind we use is God's ability and gift in Us. What we should do as humans is to always thank God for his gift in Us. And i don't believe in praying or asking for a miracle. I rather pray and ask God to give me understanding and knowledge to be able to provide solutions to life's issues, and when I'm limited, let Him come in and make it happen. If people just believe that Miracles are superior, a lot of them WON'T use the mental abilities God gave them and just waste that gift in them

I also commented:

I don't believe in one being superior over another because all were created and given by God. Science is just a way in which God empowers humans to be able to use the brain he gives Us and create solutions for life challenges. It's just a way of telling humans that they are powerful and have the abilities to be masters of circumstances and conditions. Miracles is only where God comes in directly to help man coz Man's abilities are limited there. Sometimes Miracles doesn't mean it's something so spectacular, sometimes Miracles are just what people feel because their knowledge is limited in that aspect, and it may not be everyone's knowledge that's limited. Someone else may have such knowledge. Miracles is also God coming in to make something happen in a shorter time. Miracle is a science that most times is beyond human comprehension, beyond natural course. So i don't see any as being superior. God made them to serve their various purposes.


So what do you think? Let's get our opinions out:
Welcome to the Blog. I love Positivity. I love sharing Positivity. I encourage You to always be Positive. Positivity pays.

Nothing Good Comes Easy (Dr. Nosa's Success Story)

This is an inspiring Success Story by Dr. Ewere Thompson Nosa, a Medical Doctor and graduate of the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) Dr. Ewere Thompson Nosa ----- After rounding up my Secondary School education, and losing my Dad to the cold hands of death in 2009; I decided to fend for myself, and complement the support I was getting from my wonderful siblings. I had to do this because I don't like depending on anyone wholly, plus the fact that finance was limited and things were not all rossy. So I started off as a phone technician at Third junction in Benin. It wasn't easy for me as I was a bit too young and innocent to hussle in such kind of environment. I faced a lot of reproach, rejections and oppressions. I can remember a day I was beaten up at my work place, by some cultists for not fixing their phones to their specification. I also faced a lot of disappointments even among my loved ones. Well, that's all history. I endured all and passed

Success Story: How I went from a CGPA of 2.29 to 4.00 within a Semester

This is a Success Story shared by Olusola O'sola Fapohunda, a graduate of the Federal University of Technology, Akure. ----- In early 2010, I went with about four other guys in my department - to visit our level registration officer. We wanted to check our result. Each one of us, was with a paper and a pen. The lecturer in charge asked for our matriculation numbers and one after the other, he was reeling off grades, GPA and CGPA. He eventually got to me and I heard a digit that sounded like I've been shot. God! Me! 2.29. I've earned myself Grade E in some three unit courses and my best course was APH301, which I had a B with a score of 69. About six months later, I went to check my 300 level second semester result and I now had a CGPA of 4.00. That was the happiest day of my University education. I was rolling on the floor of the room. The previous semester has been hell, yet the one that followed it yielded this awesome result! What did I do? What did I change? What s

When it comes to achieving your goals and dreams, everyday is an important day. Every hour, every minute, every second counts.

Everyday, ask yourself: "Is what I am doing pushing me closer to my dream?" If no, then you should begin to shift your focus to something that will lead you inch by inch to that dream you seek to achieve! You can do it. I BELIEVE IN YOU! By: Fortune Kendra

Your Village People that won't allow You to Succeed

Your Village people won't allow you to succeed in 2018. The only reason you didn't achieve some of your goals last year was because your VILLAGE people are hardworking! They are the ones holding you back! The people in your village are working against you, they've created a culture that is influencing the way you function. The funny thing is, you are giving them the permission to. Don't you know that no one or nothing can influence you until you give them(it) the permission to? What pricks me is that you have been aware of these for a very long time and you still give it the permission to influence you. What if I tell you I know these village people of yours? O yes! I know them! They are your BELIEF SYSTEM, YOUR EXPERIENCE, HABITS AND YOUR MINDSET! Whoever or whatever controls your mindset controls you and in this situation what controls you are your SELF LIMITING BELIEFS AND YOUR SELF LIMITING EXPERIENCE! You function based on your self limiting beliefs, habit

I am a member of "The Let's Talk About Series" community. I'll be sharing notes from Tobi Afolabi (TASpeaks) on Comportment and Etiquette, a lesson delivered this year, in the month of February. Let's Talk About Series is a personal and career development discussion platform that discuss diverse topics to help boost people's productivity and build personal confidence. They are passionate about self discovery, and believe the strife for personal development helps in adding value to one's life; creating opportunities and setting priorities for the areas that make them most effective. You can check out the community on Facebook. ----- Tobi Afolabi: If I were to ask what we love most about Pastor E. A. Adeboye, I am likely to get comments such as he is humble, generous, polite, well dressed, cultured... If I ask same for Buhari, Dangote, Steve Harris, Jimi Tewe and many more, I am equally likely to get a similar feedback. Doesn't it amaze you that we

Men are same, wicked and heartless

By -

Hi Lady, the problem isn't that all men are same, wicked and heartless. I think the problem lies in Your :- 1. Indecision to define your kind of man, probably due to self deceit and focus on what you will get (misplaced focus); 2. Faulty mindset: It's so baffling how people castigate their future and still expect the best out of it. If you've been brain washed by that your friend with failed relationship(s) that never told you her own bad side of the story, why not stay off the way? 3. Insensitivity to clearly identify him from the first day. One question no woman has been able to answer me till date is: What exactly do you consider before approving and entrusting your heart to a man? His appearance, six packs, money? The truth is that most times, the focus is always on what you'll get and at such, many become so blinded by the good treat and the gifts, "the Lannisters' gifts" ('Game of Thrones' fans should relate). These are actually your doo

You do not need to invite the Holy Spirit

By -

I and a friend discussed about this today, and he disagreed wholly, until I showed him the Word. I once used to pray like this whenever we were to go into an 'anointing service.' “We invite the Holy Spirit into this place.” “The Holy Spirit really showed up this morning!” If you have been a Christian for any amount of time, you have no doubt heard these expressions. In fact, you have probably said at least one of them yourself. I know I have! Many believers today often open up church services or worship meetings with prayers like “come, Holy Spirit!” Yet I suspect these prayers may not need to be prayed. Indeed, they may actually cause more harm than good. Allow me to explain. As a Christian, I believe that any person who puts their faith (active trust) in Jesus is given the Holy Spirit. He is described in the Bible as a “seal” we have been given (2 Corinthians 1:22), and as a promised gift from God (Acts 2:38, Acts 10:45). Throughout the New Testament, ever after God

But every page of it; almost every paragraph of it has an inspiring bomb! It's a book one could go through every morning if possible, or maybe at the beginning of the week. It's cool! Think like a Champion was written by America's 45th and current president, Donald Trump. Donald is a successful businessman and television personality, and he shares so much successful tips that's helpful to everyone who wants success and wants to stay successful. I'll share a little of what I learnt from this book. I want you to get this book, and have some mental fun with it, as well. • Never sell yourself short!

If you're talented and passionate about something, make positive use of that talent and pa

Create healthy boundaries and adventure into your own Soul

Sometimes, You just have to be strong enough to say goodbye to toxic relationships. This is the best way to save yourself and to best utilise the limited time you have to live on earth. Unfortunately, toxicity can come from family and very close friends. The question you need to ask yourself is if you want to live your own life on your own terms. Do you really believe in yourself? Do you really want to live your life to its fullest and truest potential? Do you want to be happy and fulfilled? The truth is that most people don't know who you are and therefore they will never see the greatness in you. In the end, they will come back to you once you demonstrate your capacity to flourish. For now, they want to keep you safe from harm. Break those chains of limitations and soar as high as your dreams will take you. Create healthy boundaries and adventure into your own soul.
