“A miracle is quaint probability of a confluence of circumstances, unrevealed by our mind.”

“The genus Homo, by its origin, is the result of confluence of circumstances. But its further evolutionary development until acquiring a full-fledged mind was only possible with its crucial role.”

“The very fact of our existence - a miracle arousing surprise of the great minds.”

“Life from nonlife, like wine from water, has long been considered a miracle wrought by gods or God. Now it is seen to be the near-inevitable consequence of our thermal and chemical circumstances.”

“Love is the great miracle cure. Loving ourselves works miracles in our lives.”

“Emergence is inherent in everything that is alive, allowing our yearning for supernatural miracles to be subsumed by our joy in the countless miracles that surround us.”

“Perhaps (and probably) it would be true to say that we cannot conceive of anything except what we can see in our minds.”

“Our minds are finite, and yet even in these circumstances of finitude we are surrounded by possibilities that are infinite, and the purpose of human life is to grasp as much as we can out of the infinitude.”

“Many Christians don't want to hear this, but the reality is that there are lots of other explanations for what happened to Jesus that are more probable than the explanation that he was raised from the dead. None of these explanations is very probable, but they are more probable, just looking at the matter historically, than the explanation of the resurrection. … Historians can only establish what probably happened in the past, and by definition, miracles are the least probable of occurrences.”
