Quote by Lawrence M. Krauss
Of course, supernatural acts are what miracles are all about. They are, after all, precisely those things that circumvent the laws of nature. A god who can create the laws of nature can presumably also circumvent them at will. Although why they would have been circumvented so liberally thousands of years ago, before the invention of modern communication instruments that could have recorded them, and not today, is still something to wonder about.
Summary
This quote suggests that miracles involve supernatural acts that go against the natural laws of the world. It implies that a god who can create these laws is also capable of bypassing or disregarding them. However, the quote questions why there were seemingly more miracles recorded in ancient times before communication technology, while today, such occurrences are less commonly reported. It prompts curiosity about the reasons behind this shift and raises skepticism about the authenticity and prevalence of miracles in different time periods.
