Miracles are unpopular today—to the scientifically minded because they seem to conflict with s0-called scientific miracles, like bumping television programmes across the world by satellite, or going to the moon; to the ostensibly religiously minded because they remind them of miraculous claims made in the past and now discredited, which they wish to forget.

Here Muggeridge points us to the problem many moderns and post-moderns have with some of the biblical story. They have made science and its methodology god and king. But why should we elevate science to that level? What about science makes it the arbiter of truth? Why should we allow science to be more authoritative than God’s word contained in Scripture or in the very Word of God, Jesus?
