I did no such thing. I said that you're illiterate and stupid. I stand by that analysis, as you continue to prove it.

The 'above list'. I agree, the above list isn't miracles. Winning the lottery the day before your wedding might be a miracle though :-) How about a man thinking he heard from God that he was going to be led out of then communist Romania. Then on the day he was to leave two others come to his house because "God told them" and a pillar of light appears to them, and they follow it as it leads them out of the country, past guards, past guard dogs, past places where they would be killed if caught, through or around mine fields. Would that be a miracle? Or how about when the man has a dream that he believes is from God, and he sees a man in his dream, and is given the mans name and is told to contact him and he would be able to get his family freed from Romania? The dream of the man and the name he was given was US Congressman Henry Jackson. The same police that told their family they would leave Romania when pigs fly was the same police that came and told them they would be leaving the country. The miracles I experienced weren't that spectacular. I had a couple of times I asked God for directions to where I was going and got a vision of what road and direction to turn. This only happened twice and I went right to my destination both times. So how would I get a vision of the correct road to turn on to where I asked God for directions to? How would that information have evolved in me? What natural explanation is there for asking "God" for directions, getting them, and they were right on, and in a different road and direction than I planned to go to look? RogerN
