Do Miracles Exist

Do Miracles Exist?

To use science and law as the tool
By which "Miracle" is ordained
Is to forget science's basic rule
It can't measure what can't be explained

Though I strive still for greater command
Existence is more complex than I thought
There is too much I don't understand
To boldly proclaim they do not.

Outstanding explication of the mystery of existence, matter, the cosmos, the Ineffable, --- everything. Nicely done, Jesse. Best wishes, Gershon

Thought provoking verse Jesse, even Charles Darwin and Stephen Hawkings put some things down to being miraculous. The fact that we are here at all is somewhat miraculous. Tom
