Has Science Really Disproved Miracles? | Lee Strobel

I mean what happens if a skeptic comes up and says, okay, I see everything that you've laid out here Lee

and even the the scientific studies that show Miracles even they've hit all the

criteria scientifically speaking.

They're even been replicated.

Yeah, which is amazing.

Yeah, but Science dictates that there is no supernatural.

How do you respond to something like that?

Yeah, it comes down to how do you define science?

Is science.

Can't does it merely investigate things that in the natural world.

You know a lot of science most science is done with a materialistic substrate that

all there are are atoms and molecules and Physical processes that explain

everything about life including consciousness and so forth but I think.

And you know.

Science, you know when you take for instance the case study and that I mentioned of the blind woman.

I.

Don't make the claim that science proves That a miracle has happened.

I just say that that.

Look at the evidence and you have to take a step.

You have to make it come to a conclusion and I think It is a

reasonable step to take when we take a step in the same direction.

That the arrows of evidence are pointing that's rational that's logical.

Can science prove miracles?

I?

Don't think so.

Can science give us data that helps us?

By.

Either supporting or Contradicting the possibility of miracles.

Yeah, I think it can.

I think there have been many cases where science has investigated apparent miracles and shown that.

No, this is based on faulty data.

It's based on faulty evidence.

It's based on bad eyewitness accounts.

It's.

It's based on you know, when you examine the original x -rays it shows there was a misdiagnosis in the first place.

So, of course, you can claim the bone was healed because it was never really broken to start with.

Yes science can tell us those kind of things.

But let's not ignore the evidence when you have a case study like the ones I mentioned or you

have this evidence from Mozambique in Brazil.

That is a rigorous scientific study.

Yes, you have to say as the researchers say something is going on.

Science can't say it is a miracle but When we allow when we follow

science to where it points through cosmology physics Biochemistry genetics human consciousness to the

conclusion that there is a creator.

Then it opens the door to be able to come to the conclusion that there can be a

Supernatural explanation of certain things that occur.

If you have a materialistic viewpoint then you you say No, I don't accept it as a

miracle.

There must be some explanation that we do not yet understand.

That someday science will probably tell us what it is.

We don't know what it is yet.

I'm going to maintain that skepticism because I cannot accept the possibility That there is

something beyond the natural world.

My attitude is let the evidence take us to whatever conclusion it takes us

to and if that Conclusion is that God exists then of course miracles are not just

possible.

But miracles are actual because we have the resurrection of Jesus as an example.
