>Miracles with no miracle maker. The Bible has miracles with a miracle maker, much more logical than the naturalists' evolution creation story.
The notion that everything that exists exists for an exploitable human-centered purpose or meaning is literally destroying our only biosphere. Everything that has ever happened has indeed led to us right now, but who are you to slice it apart into a series of miracles and non-miracles? It's just life and the more you try to separate from it the less sense it will make. Since you insist on an all powerful all knowing creator God now he has to be responsible for all of it or none of it. Amd because you've conjured an impossible explanation how much more impossible must it be for some thing or process which is not-God to have done all of his works. It's a you-problem, replacing thi faith with another so-called faith, not a problem for anyone else.
