Faith isn't illogical. Faith is essential for modern day life. We all know one thing. All the rest is faith. If you're an atheist, you believe in atheism, you don't
know God doesn't exist. A lot of atheists and theists aren't keen to that. A lot of people say "I know God doesn't exist, because science is fact" or that "I know God exists, because bla bla bla." Which are both wrong statements. I say "I don't know God exists, but I believe he does, because I want to believe that there is a benevolant and loving artist wise enough to know that creating a chaotic universe such as this is truly a greater gift to its sentient inhabitants than that of a perfect universe."
With regards to miracle, I believe miracles are a constant part of our universe. Think about all the things that had to happen for you to be here. The universe had to come into existence, our solar system had to come into existence, and human kind had to come into existence. And out of all the people in the world, your two parents had to choose eachother to meet. Then they had to create you, and thousands of other sperm rushed into your mothers vagina, some getting wiped out by her natural defenses, and finally the one carrying half of your DNA given to you by your father found her egg and made it in and the DNA united. Then you grew from one cell into a whole person, and became conscious enough to question the meaning of your own existence and to recognize your own consciousness.
That's fucking mind blowing to me.
