Miracle by Design

If I were to ask, do miracles happen?? The first thing that comes to our mind probably about miracle is about god coming down to earth, or man walking on water, sea opening up midway or such extra ordinary feats. That is what we look upon as miracles.

In that case most of us would say miracles do not happen now, may be it happened 500 years ago.

If you ask me, I say that miracles do happen; it’s just how you see it. Open your eyes and look around you, miracles are there everywhere. The earth that we live in, the body that we live in, and the inventions that we have build over the years, all of this is so intricate in design, that it was there always and only needed someone to discover. Its very hard for me to believe that in a universe really unknown we are the only existing life form. For me it is a miracle that nature has for some reason kept each civilization away from each other, except for those rare UFO sightings.



It’s the design of nature, just stop to think about it and you would realize it is a miracle that things are the way they are. Just think on a cosmic level, the earth just hanging freely in something we call a galaxy and such a huge mass just rotating around another gigantic mass called the sun. Ever imagined what it would have been like to not have the sun shining on the third rock from the sun?? now that is a miracle of a design. Without fail the sun as if it is time bound and in contract with nature, sets and rises with such immaculate timing that our scientist can predict the exact time and position where the sun would rise. Hmmm… Interesting. The sun which is a huge ball of fire would just take a few seconds to perish everything on this earth had it decided to move a few kilometers away or closer to earth. For some reason, which to me is a miracle, it does not do so and stays obediently in orbit. The beauty of this miracle by design is that we have scientific reasons for everything that is happening around us.



Ever imagined if the clouds were a thick solid mass floating up in the sky, could we have flown those airplanes then?? Miracle by design.

Have you ever thought of a scenario where if a live high voltage electric cable were to be dropped into the ocean, what would happen? Since all the sea water in our oceans are connected, the entire sea would be electrocuted and with that all the living creatures within the sea and on the shore lines would perish. Does that happen, no, because of something called as resistance in the sea water which would restrict such a mishap? Again a scientific explanation to the miracle by design.



If you see on National Geographic or Discovery, the animal kingdom, the plant kingdom and the water kingdom are all miracles happening everyday. A pitcher plant trapping an insect as food. A ‘Touch Me Not’ plant just showing the introvert side of its character when touched. Turtle and Sardines travelling miles to lay eggs in the place of its birth. The birth of a young one, be it human or animal, is a creation out of nowhere, if you think of it. Oh yes! We have scientific explanation for all of this.





The communication world that we live in today, is it not a miracle, had it not been for natures design would radio, TV satellite or the internet be possible. Think about it. Have you ever imagined how radio waves are heard almost at the same time in all the radio receivers, how it actually passes through walls and other closed surroundings. Hats off to all those people who have made this wireless world possible, but would that have been possible if it were not for the miracle by design of nature?



The amount of water that we consume and waste every day, the amount of food that we consume and waste everyday, the electricity, the garbage dump, the pollution, the energy sources , all this is provided by nature at such mammoth scale that it still has not depleted, even after we have been misusing it for ages, isn’t that a miracle. Now we feel there is not much space on our mother earth, so we are exploring life on Mars. On the mars mission, scientists were controlling the pathfinder sitting millions of miles away. A miracle for sure.



The human body, a miracle that we live everyday and we have no idea about it, do we? I am no doctor and I am sure the doctors are the only ones who really would know to some extent the intricacies of this creation. This is one miracle, if you want to, you could probably write a thesis on. We have so many diseases and disorders that we see in a human body that are caused by some element in the miracle creation going wrong. However, these malfunction are a minute fraction of the stuffs that can actually go wrong in our body. A small organ in between of ears actually controls the balance in your body. An infection to that organ is all it would take for you to lose control on your balance and just make you wobble, how many of us actually have to go through it. If you could go in depth to the functioning of your heart, lungs, liver, kidney or the pancreas there are so many minute things that can go wrong but it does not for most of us.Thanks to the miracle of nature. The human eye is a camera that the best of our digital cameras cannot imitate. Have you ever tried to imagine the amount of information our brain stores and brings out every time we talk, see, feel, and smell. It’s a miracle by design that most of us have this human body functioning without any control from our conscious mind, working day in and out for us. Just stop for a while , look at your hands, now move those fingers one by one. Are you moving them, what is moving them, your brains, right?, are you telling it to move it or you are just thinking about it and its happening. Every part of our body is doing that as we just think about it. Amazing isn’t it. Miracle by design.



So next time someone asks you, Do you believe in Miracles? You know what to say.
