Ep. 67 The Question of God: Miracles

In the eighth episode of our season on the question of God, Ryan discusses the notion of miracles—analyzing the concept from a philosophical perspective and sharing some personal stories.

"...this Spirit is the power of the future—the power that liberates the world, liberates history, from the bondage of past-present causation, from the restrictions and limitations of a closed, deterministic system of cause-and-effect, from the slavery of ordinary and predictable causal relationships—the power, the Spirit, who breaks through the walls of space and time to create the truly novel, and beautiful, and miraculous effects that we see in our world today. Just because we take these things for granted—things like rationality and freedom—doesn’t make them any less miraculous."
