On Miracles
Murphy, GL. 1999.  PSCF 51(4):278-279. CELD ID 14712

Abstract
I am not always as careful as I might be in my statements but I don't recall "expressing discomfort" with miracles or saying that I "could accept the miracle of the resurrection but not much else" (PSCF 51 [September 1999]: 143). I do think that many appeals to miracles, such as the notion that they are needed to explain the origin of life, are theologically unsound. What I've tried to address on the ASA listserv and in other forums1 is not whether miracles have occurred but how they are to be understood and what they mean.
