When is a "miracle" really a miracle?

????

How should we approach claims of the supernatural or the unusual? Is God the only being with the power to supernaturally intervene in our world? In this video, Frank lists several logical explanations for strange events ranging from weird to miraculous. ???? ???????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????

There are no such things as miracles. There is NO god of ANY holy book, ALL gods are strictly human manufactured fiction. Christianity, Islam, Judaism are an absurdity full of hate and ignorance, god is fiction in EVERY religion, culture, and language, everywhere, every second of every day, 365. It is just an excuse to engage in ordained hate and othering. Religion is no solution for the requirements of humanity in the 21st century, it never was. The sooner humanity understands this, the sooner we can get to work in unison for humanity actual. Non-belief is JUSTIFIED! ALL evidence and rules of evidence point to ZERO gods, the divinity of Jesus is fiction likewise that of Mohammed likewise Moses...etc etc for all religions for many thousands of years, ALL fiction. Human created god(s). There is NO good evidence to reasonably believe in ANY god claim.

The jealousy of YHWH by HaSatan specifically regarding Holy Elohim being the author of life has been at the core of rebellion with fallen angels mating with women and cross breeding animals of all kinds - deserving of death by flood. All of this to be like the Most High. And more currently, genetics and manipulation of DNA. *Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man.* Luke 17:26 thru 30.* Even so, come, Sovereign Yeshua.*

@eklektikTubb Says:
I personally think that term "magic" can mean any unusual event, so it highly depends on the context in which the term is used. I would even argue that human magician tricks are the only cathegory that is NOT magic (or at least not real magic) since it is all fake and pretended.
@Enigmatic_philosopher Says:
Here is a philosophical critique of the video's claims from an atheist perspective: The video makes sweeping assertions about the nature of reality and supernatural phenomena without sufficient evidence. It sets up a false dichotomy between scientific materialism and biblical miracles, ignoring other philosophical perspectives. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, but the video provides mostly anecdotal stories rather than rigorous proof. Dismissing all unexplained phenomena as "anomalies" or claiming they will eventually have natural explanations is an argument from ignorance. Some phenomena may have supernatural causes, even if we do not yet understand the mechanisms. Conversely, claiming certain events are "miracles" also lacks solid justification. Often alleged miracles have natural explanations when studied in depth. Appealing to the Bible as infallible truth is problematic from a skeptical viewpoint. The Bible makes historical and scientific claims that are contradicted by evidence. It was written by humans with limited knowledge of the universe. Ancient texts from many cultures contain mythical and magical elements that are not meant to be taken literally. Overall, the video seems to approach the debate over miracles and the supernatural with a strong confirmation bias. It makes unsupported assertions aligned with Christian theology without seriously considering alternatives or counter evidence. A more intellectually honest analysis would admit the limitations of current human knowledge while remaining open to possibilities both natural and supernatural. Extraordinary claims from any perspective should be met with skepticism until backed by evidence that holds up under scrutiny.

@Mark-in1im Says:
The test of any supposed miracle is this: *real miracles are undeniable to the 1st-hand observer*. No one ever even tried to deny the miracles of Jesus, even tho they hated Jesus and were desperate to discredit Him. If you ever witness a supposed "miracle" and there's even a hint of unreality to it -- it's fake. When God legitimately does a miracle, He WILL get your attention, no matter if you are a believer or not.
@JamesRichardWiley Says:
God's Divine Plan and miracles are not compatible. A miracle occurs when the Hebrew god Yahweh "intervenes" in his own Plan.
@DeconvertedMan Says:
What method are you using to discover any of the list is true? No we explained how bees work - no "power pack" what the bleep are you talking about? Magic is mentioned in the bible and seems to suggest its real. Satan can do magic as well - lol wow.

Never. Its never been shown to be a thing at all.

When is a "miracle" really a miracle? How about "never"?
@Thundawich Says:
Given that frank talks about point 4 with relation to satan using supernatural stuff to trick people, what makes frank think that the fog in point 5 came from God? Couldn't that have been the devil's fog, while God was rooting for the nazis? What makes frank so sure that this fog that helped the allies was of God's doing?
@gorthygara8399 Says:
A real miracle is when Jesus opens the eyes and the ears of all who are spiritually blind and deaf. Even though many can see and hear, they are still blind and deaf. Also, a miracle is when someone is spiritually born again and they follow only Jesus for the rest of their lives. To be heals of any ailments isn't a true miracle without the inner-been renewed by the power of our Lord God Almighty Jesus Christ.
@anthonyhudson2265 Says:
Miracles are impossible due to the laws of physics, therefore we automatically know that miracles don't exist.
@hectorhernandez215 Says:
Seeing natural the supernatural is an error from skepticism.......nothing in this universe is "natural" at all....
@tTtt-ho3tq Says:
Miracles, when God intervenes, when he do something outside of the order of nature or bends the orde of nature. Which means to change the natural courses of nature or flow of things that are to change supposed to go or what is supposed to going to happen according to the order of natire is going to happen. Something like that? So the question is what God forsees? What supposed to happen but won't or what he's gonna change it happen by miracles? Which future God forsees? Can he change his mind? Is he limited, is his free will limited by his own omniscient? Can he change what forsees already or he won't see what hes gonna do with his free will, means he can't see future? But if he forsees the future can he perform miracles to change that future? Then he would be wrong ...

When Saul went to the witch to speak with Samuel, was that also satanic work or how is that explained?

@RangerRyke Says:
A miracle is a miracle when you have quantified data of the prior condition of a thing being unchangeable and then it is observed measurably changing without measurable explanation. Like a limb growing back. Yep god cured your food allergy but won’t give that kid in a car crash his legs back.

@jackalsgate1146 Says:
If Frank actually thinks that the allegorical story of the Rod of Aaron (not Moses) against the Rods of Egypt was a literal story: he's delusional and he should give up reading a Bible he clearly can't understand. Frank's explanation in this video - Aaron threw his Rod down and it became a snake, but the magicians didn't have rods, they had snakes that were in a trance; whereby, they were as stiff as Rods and they did something to make the snakes come out of their trance; whereby, they would then become animated.? This guy makes stuff up as he goes along. Frank - The Bible is the inspired word of God and every word is important. Also Frank - The Bible is the inspired word of God and every word is important; until, I need to change something about it.
@onlylove556 Says:
Frank I love u, but this is why OSAS is false, bc it makes u not see things clearer in the Bible... Now people can stay what does this have to do with our salvation, well it can affect us let me show u from the Bible Alone... Satan has power yes, but only bc God allows those miracles to happen through him, so its not magic tricks, its real spiritual power, but coming from satan it becomes demonic evil powers...   So the Egyptians sorcerers didn't have some "David Copperfield illusion tricks", or some snakes that were hypnotized to be stiff like wood like Frank said, NO' the Bible says that they were real wooden RODS, & they all turned into snakes literally in Exodus 7:11-12...😢 But that power, the source always comes from God alone⬇️ Acts 14:3 - Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and ➡️granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.⬅️ So God allows these signs, & wonders to be done by their hands, bc they we're following the Devil their Father. Bc the Angels were created with strength so every one of them has certain powers to use, through their own free will. Thats why the Bible says during the end days, these  false prophets or going to do signs, & wonders, but its through their father the devil, so it's not going to be some fake parlor tricks, or fake magic David Copperfield tricks, No it's real spiritual demonic power, that God allows it to happen, for the greater Good... Matthew 24:24 - For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect (That even us the believers can be affected by this, hence if you're part of the very Elect u won't, but it's saying some believers who are weak will be affected)... 2 Thessalonians 2:9 - Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, The Bible clearly says that Satan is going to have all this demonic power, it's not some David Blaine magic tricks like Frank is talking about.... That's why Satan has the power to control the weather, & the seas Mark 4:39... Jesus had to rebuke the seas to calm the Seas down, now you're not going to believe that it was the Father in Heaven that was creating This Storm to happen, NO' it was the devil himself, & his minions, through their demonic super powers that the Father allows to happen, & Jesus rebuked them & they had to obey Jesus... They have power bc satan is the ruler of this world Ephesians 2:2; 2 Corinthians 4:4; & Jesus literally tells us that he has a Kingdom Matt 12:26, & that kingdom is this world, so the Devil is thee Ruler of this world John 12:39; 14:30... Even though God created this world, he allows the devil to Rule, & do what he does best, which is biblical when you read the book of Job, & u see that fire was coming down from the heavens Job 1:16; so the Devil is able to do these great signs, & wonders according to the Bible alone, not magic tricks. So this is why OSAS is dangerous, & unbiblical, bc we can be a believer in Jesus & still be following this world, so ur following this world by having worldly desires living in the Flesh ur following satan, & not Jesus. Thats why the Bible says not to follow ur flesh, to follow the Spirit of God only, Otherwise u can keep committing sins that can lead to spiritual death, 1 John 5:16; bc the ruler of this world the devil keeps persuading u to fail, bc he wants u to live a evil life by doing evil works... OSAS believers need to wake up, if the devil is smart enough to persuade one-third of the angels to leave heaven, & leave God's beautiful Grace, bc obviously the Angels were in the heaven in God's presence & felt his love & they still left him to follow satan. So then what makes u think the Devil don't have enough power to persuade us, away from God, when we're just mere finite lil humans, he does have the power to persuade us away to not even make it to Heaven in the 1st place, when he had the power to convince 1/3 of the Angels to leave, who were already in the beautiful heaven... The devil doesn't have the power to grab us out of God's hands, but we could leave God with our own free will, God doesn't grab us and then Force us to stay in his hands, that would be rape. But we can believe in Jesus, & keep walking in our flesh, by living in habitual sinning without repentance, then there is no more forgiveness of sins, which means no more sacrifice for our sins Hebrews 10:26... Wake up my brother's and sisters who believe in Once Saved Always Saved, u can become a lukewarm believing Christian by following the desires of satan's world, & can lose your salvation...

Miracles are real I recently experienced a miracle. I was gradually losing my eyesight. The glasses stopped working well. Started having problems reading my cellphone and computer screens. I enjoyed my tennis but could not see the ball well. Dropped from a good player to a poor player and was about to give up. Went to see an ophthalmologist who identified cataracts. 20 minutes in the operating theatre for each eye and miracle on a miracle my eyesight is restored. As an Atheist I did not pray or think of a god, I trusted science for the miracle.

@jackalsgate1146 Says:
Definition of Miracle in Bible - Parting of Red Sea; walking on water; turning water into wine; raising dead; healing the blind, deaf, dumb. Frank Turek Says - We better lower our standards of what miracles are so we can still claim mircles occur.

@mattr.1887 Says:
It's tragic that Western man still allows himself to get sucked in to magical thinking. 2:37 It's one thing to speak about Satan in a figurative sense - ex, the way you might talk about Mother Nature being really angry on a day with bad weather. But a literal deity? That's fine - all I ask for is proof. Without proof, anything we wish for gets to be true and this is how a 5 year old thinks.
