Miracle combined with science

[arauca]

To take this fable as fact, it means that God made a deliberate decision not to intervene.

Although... these days if a person survives a heart attack, it is often due to human intervention. Perform CPR or apply a defibrillator, get the EMTs there within three minutes [my estimate, I'll let Asguard correct it], and there's a good chance of surviving with no brain damage.

[BTW, I recently read that coughing to restart your heart, or at least to cause pulses of blood pressure to pump a bit of fresh oxygen to the brain, doesn't work. Anybody got an authoritative take on that? It was in Parade--the magazine with the largest circulation in America because it comes with everybody's Sunday paper--and their stuff is usually very well vetted.]

It's often been said,

"God created man in his image, then man returned the compliment. Or vice versa."​

It is the old story when I was a kid dad was great but as I grew I started to know better the dad , and I don't need him any more.
We should be grateful for this beautiful nature that is provides for us , but instead we don't want to recognize his maker.

I like the comment "He was literally dead!" No he wasn't. Maybe you don't understand the meaning of "literally"?

I have meat several gang banger and I visit them from from time to time ( Hispanic and Blacks ) and I here the comments that their mother prayed for them . several of them are for murder, they tell their mother are great full that god saved their son for keeping them a life in prison otherwise they would go to the cementery.

Yep. There are a lot of criminals out there. Some of them survive. Some of them die. Doesn't matter whether their mothers pray for them or not.

When i was kid who had just learned to ride a bike, i needed two dollars to rent it for an hour( i didnt have my own bike) , I prayed to God that he will leave me 2 dollars on the way and walked towards the store, and just like i asked i found the 2 dollars on the way there. Do u call that a miracle? I don't.

Had you called it a miracle you might have found twice or even ten times that.

So...if a person survives a heart attack, it is divine intervention. If the person doesn't survive, that had nothing to do with God.
Hmmmm...

God made man in his image or did man create God...in his?

What do you reckon?

Oh it's fine to have a pick on a Christian thread! But if we fight back we are dead meat.
