Samuel Morgan Did Jesus Really Perform Miracles?
Jesus – Miracle Maker, or Magician? • Jesus was a man of a simple life, yet still managed to convince twelve men to leave everything and follow him. • He also apparently, walked on a surface which is seen to be impossible to walk on. • Some other miracles of his make him seem like he had impeccable timing, for example, the settling of the storm (Luke 8:22-25)
Science – Logic or Truth? • Science presents us with believable theories and other explanations for the occurrences of miracles. For example Jesus walking on a sandbank instead of water. • Can these theories be trusted and be used as a substitute to what religion and Catholicism teaches us?
Opposition From Other groups and Religions • Christianity has been opposed for centuries. Those such as Muslims – the Crusades in the Holy Land, and the Illuninati – from the age of reason (400 years ago) and of scientific beliefs. • These conflicts have been recorded in films such as “The Kingdom of Heaven” and in books such as “Angels and Demons”.
Experiment Overview • My experiment consisted of me mixing corn flour and water to give the physical attributes similar to water. • When these substances mix, they are a liquid until pressure is applied, and that’s when it turns into a solid and is capable of being walked on. • The mixture gives the same effects as sand when it saturates water. This experiment lends brief support to the theory of walking on a sandbank which science provides in contrast to Jesus walking on water.
Conclusion The conclusions drawn from this project are; • Religion have provided many people with the beliefs and reasons to their faith. • Science has also provided liable reasons and theories to counter these beliefs. • However, there is no concrete evidence to what we(as Catholics) are taught to believe in, as nobody was there, from our time to witness it for themselves.
