is not a thing God needed to produce to convince atheists. His ordinary works ought to be convincing enough.

God never wrought miracles to convince atheism, because his ordinary works convince it. Francis Bacon

is a thing which man cannot live without. Thus, if he does not experience them, he will provide himself with miracles of his own making. He will believe in witchcraft and sorcery, even though he may otherwise be a heretic, an atheist, and a rebel.

Since man cannot live without miracles, he will provide himself with miracles of his own making. He will believe in witchcraft and sorcery, even though he may otherwise be a heretic, an atheist, and a rebel. Fyodor Dostoevsky

is, (as a simply incredible or impossible event) not an event at all but a symbol.

All that one can say of him who prides himself on performing miracles, is that he does quite extraordinary things: but who is denying that quite extraordinary things happen' I have seen some of these things myself, and I have even done some of them. 30
