It is impossible to use electrical light and the wireless and to avail ourselves of modern medical and surgical discoveries, and at the same time to believe in the New Testament world of spirits and miracles.
~ Rudolf Bultmann
There are two ways to look at life. One is that nothing is a miracle, and the other is that everything is a miracle.
~ Albert Einstein
When the Old Testament says that Sennacherib’s invasion was stopped by angels (2 Kings 19:35), and Herodotus says it was stopped by a lot of mise who came and ate up all the bowstrings of his army (Herodotus, Bk. II, Sect. 141), an open-minded person will be on the side of the angels. Unless you start by begging the question [assuming miracles cannot happen], there is nothing intrinsically unlikely in the existence of angels or in the action ascribed to them. But mise just don’t do these things.
