About This Quote

This quote is based on the idea that belief in a miracle can make things appear more simple. The word "miracle" is overused today. It has become synonymous with the supernatural. If you refer to something as a miracle, people will assume you are referring to something that is out of the ordinary, not expected or explainable.

This may be true of some miracles but not all. For example, it is far easier for people to believe that Earth was created at 6:00 A.M. on Thursday than it is to accept the theory that it had been around for billions of years before then.
