Why Did All The Miracles Happen Before Modern Science?

[justmeinoz]

Seeing the  Bible was not written as a  factual record in the way we expect thgings to be recorded today it is not really a problem.
Apart from the allegorical aspects, people at the time expected the supernatural to be encountered  all the time.  "Did you hear about the carpenter from Caperneum curing blindness?"  "Cool!"
And it was commonly accepted fact that Julius Caesar was descended from Venus for example. 
Can anyone nowadays believe that the Senate would pack up and go home because someone heard an owl or thunder?

I just love it when a bunch of Christianity haters take it upon themselves to post in the Christian Section.

If you don't believe and don't want to believe and only want to attack, take it elsewhere.

To be serious about this topic. My rabbi told me once: "at some point in history G-d become silent, why? It is because we have disappointed so much we our cruelty that she has abandon us? But, would  a mother with infinite mercy and forgiveness abandon her children? Perhaps her silence is a form of "tough love" ?

What are the really miracles? Knowing what I know about the many ways our enemies can hurt us, and since they  have not done it, and I cannot find a logical reason why they have done it, then I mus accept (as Sherlock Homes would conclude) that the only conclusion is that G-d has not allow and that is a miracle. This is just my humble opinion, no expert opinion in this one. Just faith that the Lady my G-d has a plan not only for me but also for human kind

If you are a Roman Catholic then it is accepted that they still happen. There have to be accepted miracles for a Saint to be acknowledged.
Being an Anglican myself, I don't need them, or Saints for that matter, so also not a problem. I am quite relaxed about the issue.
Thinking about it, maybe we should be as superstitious as the Romans. I'd love to have someone say they had heard an endangerd owl hoot whenever Bob Brown of the Greens got up to speak in the Senate and they'd all run home!!

Your mention of the true christian -the Catholics-  made me think about what the non-abrahamic religions positions on "miracles are? What is the position of Buddhist in the so called miracles, the Hindus? What is the atheist position ?
