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.

Life and Relationship

By -
How would you define "Life" if you were asked to? I was thinking about this and I came up with two simple definitions, which are related to each other. Life is happiness; and Life is loving yourself, loving others and loving God. Both definitions are related because you can't be happy without loving yourself, loving others and loving God. A large book can be written just to break down this definition. Loving yourself means you do the things that makes you happy, not just happy but also helps you grow and get better and more positive. It involves chasing your dreams, developing and using your natural talents and striving to have a better life tomorrow. The nice thing about your person is that you're Unique, with your own unique talents and abilities. Those talents and dreams you're working hard to achieve will not only serve the benefit of making you fulfilled or giving you a comfortable life, but they are also meant to benefit the world around you. That...

What Innovation can do to your life

I came across this piece and felt I should share it here. Thumbs up to the original author! It's a talent that everyone has, yet they think they don't. The power of innovation. If you've ever marvelled at somebody's creative prowess, guess what, you can create and innovate too. It just takes time. Everyone is born creative. The box of crayons in kindergarten were not limited to those who possessed potential; because the truth is, everybody has potential. You know how long it took to learn to ride a bike or drive or to never commit the same mistake again? It's the same with innovation. It takes a bit of practice and a lot of time before this mind function comes easily when called. This article will teach you a few tips on how to bring innovation into your life. Don't listen to what other people say. Follow the beat of your own drum. Allowing for the input of other people will only bring cacophony to the music you are trying to make. If you have an original ide...

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

By -
Image
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...

Your personal health and fitness is essential!

"I am as passionate about personal health and fitness as I am about financial health. I believe your health is your most prized possession. It amazes me how many people pay no attention to their health. ... You know what you’re supposed to eat. We all do. Fresh fruits and vegetables, complex carbs, salads, whole foods, lean meats, more fish and poultry than beef... You know it, I know it, we all know it. So why do so many of us still go out and chow down cheeseburgers and fries every day? I’ll tell you why: because it won’t kill us. Not today. If you ate a cheeseburger and immediately suffered a near-fatal heart attack, would you ever go near a cheeseburger again? I doubt it. It may take twenty or thirty years, but when you add up the compounded interest on all that high-fat, artery-clogging dietary mayhem, eventually your poor overworked heart just quits, stops dead. And so do you. It has been said that we dig our graves with our teeth. It’s easy to ea...

We first have Standards; then we can talk Consistency

People who stand for something are those who are consistent in their choices. Consistency helps build Reputation. Consistency helps build Result. Consistency is what we do repeatedly no matter what. The difference between EFFORT and EFFECT is Consistency. We cannot be consistent if we don't stand for something. Every organization is built on the service delivery and experience and this both is a derivative of consistency. Great Organization are those who have standard brand, and those who have standard brand are men and women who are consistent in their dealings. The best of brands have standard!

Treat Him like a King

By -
Image
I love to talk about men. And the reason is very simple: • All men are unique. • They are our pride. • They are the beauty that we have as women. Most times, I tell my friends that when you treat your man like a King, he will worship you like a Queen. Never disrespect your man, he is the reason why people are calling you Madame. Stop looking down on him because you think he is already your husband, and so nothing can happen. Believe me, there are a lots of ladies out there who are willing to pay any amount just to have that same men you are insulting everyday. If you learn how to take good care of your husband he will always make you the envy of all. Don't be ashamed to try new things. A lady is a blessing to her husband, not trouble, pain and heartbreak. Make your husband your best friend. Your husband should be able to say, "Honey, I'm favoured because I have You as my wife". Your calls and presence should never remind him of how much a mistake he may have ...

Let us take a look at these features; 1. Each ticking of the second hand offers you another opportunity to start all over again . That is, giving up when you fail should be the last option in your mind. There's always an opportunity to start all over and do things differently.

It's gone FOREVER!!.  Therefore make the most of every opportunity. Yes, I know it contradicts the first lesson. But think about this deeply. When you have an opportunity to do something, make sure you make the most of it cause even if you get anot...
