Miracles and Design
Journal Title: Dini Araştırmalar -Altı Aylık Bilimsel Dergi- - Year 2014, Vol 17, Issue 45
Abstract
The aim of this article is to examine of the concept of miracle in the context of the laws of nature and investigate it in relation to the concept of design. Miracles are often described as unexpected extraordinary events and violation of the laws of nature. The concept of violation of laws of nature is logically coherent. However, with the Newtonian science view was embraced in the scientific society, miracles in the sacred texts of the theistic religions was also interpreted consistently with the laws of nature. The metaphysical analysis of the concept of design, grounds the possibility of miracle coherently. As an alternative to the naturalistic explanation, intelligent design theory that explains the origin of organisms depending on the intentional act of intelligent agent does not necessarily require miracles. But if miracle that violate the laws of nature had actually happened, it would be clearly an argument for the supernatural design
