IF GOD CREATED THE UNIVERSE AND LIFE, MIRACLES ARE POSSIBLE

Many people do not seriously consider whether the truth claims of Christianity are true because they think that the miracles mentioned in the Bible are unbelievable. For example, Noah’s Ark containing all animals, Moses parting the Red Sea, and Jonah getting swallowed by a whale and spit out after 3 days are impossible. However, since there is clear and convincing evidence that God created the universe and all life, the feasibility of God intervening, suspending natural laws, and performing miracles is at least possible. As the famous Christian (and former atheist) author and philosopher C.S. Lewis stated, “If we admit God, must we admit Miracle[s]? Indeed, indeed, you have no security against it. That is the bargain.” Editors R. Dougles Geivett and Gary R.
