Modern Miracles....

I'm going to be very honest with you.


I have some issues with what is written in the bible.


Now, don't get me wrong, I believe in it.  Don't feel the need to conduct crazy prayer services on my behalf or initiate an intervention to save my soul or anything - I just have some issues with things that are said, and I have a lot (A LOT) of questions.


For example:  Do I REALLY believe that ONE man build a massive ark and filled it with a male and female of every animal?   Jury's still out on this one.


Do I REALLY think that a human being made a walking path down the middle of a huge sea?  I'm skeptical.


Do I REALLY believe that Seth in Genesis lived to be 912?  Or that Noah lived to be 950? A littler hard to believe since there is no written proof post-Bible that people have lived past 100 some years old.  All history books and records from the 17th century, 18th century, etc have shown that people live to be 100 and something.  So it was just in the bible that these people are living to almost 1000.  HOLY MOLY!


Now, I'm not knocking the bible.  I'm not.


I'm just expressing where I find 'issues' in the bible - specifically the old testament.


Now - this video was brought to my attention.  About a young boy that was caught in a riptide and was under water for twenty minutes.  He was found not breathing and brought to the hospital.  He was expected to be dead when they found a weak heartbeat.  His doctors told the family to expect for the worst.  Against all odds, this boy survived.  


You can watch the video here.  


This is what I call a Modern Miracle.  


If I can believe this can happen, why can't I accept the fact that a man built an ark.  


Stay tuned.  :)
