Augustine Of HippoMiracles are not contrary to nature but only contrary to what we know about nature.
About This Quote
This quote by Albert Einstein is true in many ways. For example, when we look at the stars, it is easy to see that they are not moving at all. They are fixed in place. However, our eyes deceive us because we know that the stars are really moving, but we can’t see this motion because its too small for us to detect.
Einstein believed that the laws of nature were not fixed but could change. He also believed that miracles were natural and not contrary to nature. A miracle is defined as a phenomenon which cannot be explained by the current laws of physics and science.
For example, a miracle is a feat or event which defies all science and science-based theories on how the universe works.
