Just because I donât follow a particular religion doesnât mean I am denying it or disrespecting it in any way. It only means I as an individual have made my own choice to follow something that I personally find is the true word of God. I have more Hindu friends in real life than Muslims & majority of my Muslim friends are of different sects.
Things donât read well when we start questioning & mocking others beliefs whether we find logic in them or not. That is just distasteful.
If my quoted post offended you in any way I apologize for that.

This.
If something were to happen todayâŚI believe we would look for a logic explaination UNLESS there is a reference of the âmiracleâ in one of the holy booksâŚthen like others have said, those that have faith will believe and those that donât will try to find other explanations

Re: Religious miracles with possible scientific explanations
That is a hard question to answer. I guess it will depend on what the specific âmiracleâ is and the situation around it.
Let me try to explain it using an example, Iâm not sure this is exactly a miracle but close enough:
Growing up I have always heard the hadith about the Sun rising from the West as a sign of Judgment day. Now I know some people may not believe in hadiths or this particular hadith but just go along with me here. Now if one day I wake up to the Sun rising from the West or I see it on the news all over the worldâŚwhat would be my honest knee jerk response? Would I try to find a logical scientific reason how this happened out of nowhere? Or would I run, find a jaanmaz and start praying my heart out?
As much as I would like to think I am a woman of scienceâŚI would do the latter. Because at the end of the day, I believe. I have faith. For me that risk wouldnât be worth it.
Do I believe that the person who tries to find an scientific answer behind such a phenomenon is wrong? No not necessarily. Because if enough time has passed I would probably due to sameâŚbut my knee jerk response would be to believe.
Re: Religious miracles with possible scientific explanations
Science as we know it came after Allahâs creation. To use science to explain everything in creation is like saying Allah depends upon science or that Allah is limited by the very laws of nature that He created in the first place. The one who created the laws of nature can also break them.
Surah Fil is one of my favorites because it reminds me that Allah can do anything. When the event of the destruction of the elephants took place, it was such a huge deal that all the ArabsâŚregardless of religionâŚused it as a frame of reference to keep track of other events (births, deaths, age, etc). For example people would sayâŚsuch n such an event occurred x number of years before or after the Year of the Elephant. So, regardless of how the destruction took place from a scientific perspective, the event was just so spectacular thatâŚlike the kaabaâŚit was like a focal point for the Arabs irrespective of creed.
Who knows how big those âpebblesâ were, or how many of them were pelted, or from what height, or by how many birds. Allah has also saved people in less dramatic ways, such as the instance of the youths who were put to sleep for centuries in a cave. What I find even more miraculous is human creation itself. Or even how a seedâŚwhich looks like nothingâŚcan yield a plant. Or the sunâŚhow we depend upon it for survival but itâs not us humans who control its rising and setting. There is a system or order in place that we neither created nor control.

one gram of Antimatter annihilating with one gram of matter(minimum amount) produces 180 tetrajoules (approximately 3 times the bomb dropped on Hiroshima)
one gram of Antimatter, weight is much less than that of a single pebble
