I do!! I believe in miracles, my faith let me believe in them. I´m not a perfect person, not the best example of a catholic guy, but after an incident 2 years ago, I believe harder in miracles.

I always wear a bracelet with religious images (of Jesus and other saints). 3 Novembers ago, I was almost going direct to my work, but I had forgotten my bracelet. At first I had the idea of going without it, but something made me feel the need to come back for it. I got it (it was in my room in my bed) and I put in in the rearview window. That day, while I was driving, in a cross road, another car, whose driver was driving too fast, hit my car and destroyed all the front of it!!! I resulted only with a minor neck injury!! I got off my car and I saw that only the frontal part was completely destroyed!!  It seems like if a "bubble"(from the mirror with the bracelet to the back of the car) had been protecting the rest of the car!! In fact If you had seen my car from the back, it still looked like if it were in good condition!!

Call me naive, call it destiny, faith, but I still believe that the bracelet save me, not because I use it like a good luck charm but because I have faith in Jesus and the saints that appear in it.

I don´t pretend to change in what you believe or convert you in my religion, but I really wanted to share this experience. See ya!

I mean human being´s design is perfect.

Unfortunately, we aren't that perfect.  That is the reason why we There are so many disease(non environmental), ranging from down syndrome to Cancer. 

Religious people might claim that all these are gods way to test us or punish us. But scientifically speaking  it is just bad gene. Just like a badly written code in a software. 

 Have u ever known how brain works? The most amazing computer wouldnt compare to a human brain.

Today's computer can't .. what about tomorrow??? Welcome to the realm of Artificial  intelligence or AI. just 40 years ago, Computer flying an aeroplane would have been unimaginable. Today every Plane has fly by wire technology. 

Do u know how ur heart works?? These questions given below r not to be answered, they r given just to think.

Volumes of books have been written on Cardiology. Common sense and simple physics is enough to understand. 

A heart surgery would last "months" in heal. But at the moment of the birth, it is magical closed. How can u explain that amazing miracle?

Ok .. So it is a miracle, but what about millions of other kidds who died because their hole in their heart never healed  ?  

As I said before, unexplained are always attributed to Miracle or God. we can either sit over it and do nothing and say "Oh look miracle"or investigate it. So that millions of others who may die because of hole in a heart can live. 

Evolution? Nooo, its too perfect to be just simple "evolution"

Evolution is a very complex process, and scientists are still researching it. It may take another 50-100 years to fully understand.  

Abt ur example of the "blocks", i will give u another one that women likes, hahahahhaa:

Ah ur example was good. But unfortunately  it doesn't hold water for this argument. Ur arguments is about ageing!! and not about evolution.

As for me, that is not evolution, that is imperfection, means the opposite.

Evolution says about survival of fittest and not survival of the perfect. That is the reason why we have many extinct species . 

good example for this is Cheetah.  It evolved itself to run very fast , To do this they became smaller . Because of this they cannot fight against other animals like Lions and Hyenas when the food is scarce. This is the reason why they are at the brink of extinction. 

 But why imperfection in human being?? Because human is getting to the end of a stage. Everything that begins, has to end.

End of stage? 

Ohh, and I'm sorry for ur appendix

Religion has nothing to do with the fact that the human being ist he only responsible for creating many of the diseases that exist today because of their own selfishness and greed.

No human being wont be able never to compare with God's creation. No yesterday, no today, no tomorrow.

looool, i know that, hahahah, sorry if u misunderstood my fact. My contention was given just to show u how great the human being design is.

Ok .. So it is a miracle, but what about millions of other kidds who died because their hole in their heart never healed  ?  

As I said before, unexplained are always attributed to Miracle or God. we can either sit over it and do nothing and say "Oh look miracle"or investigate it. So that millions of others who may die because of hole in a heart can live. 

One thing is the design of the body and other totally different is the failure in the design.

babies might born with heart problems, coz of bad cares the mother took during pregnant or for the inheritance from the father's genes.

If u buy a computer, and it was desinged to work perfectly, but, during a process, this computer gets a virus. Will u go to claim to the store, why they sold u a computer that is failing?? or would u understand there are viruses that can damage ur equipment??

Ah ur example was good. But unfortunately  it doesn't hold water for this argument. Ur arguments is about ageing!! and not about evolution.

Dear, my argument is abt "imperfection"

Evolution says about survival of fittest and not survival of the perfect. That is the reason why we have many extinct species .

good example for this is Cheetah.  It evolved itself to run very fast , To do this they became smaller . Because of this they cannot fight against other animals like Lions and Hyenas when the food is scarce. This is the reason why they are at the brink of extinction.

if that were the point, so then the homosapiens'd be alive nowdays, coz he knew very well how to survive.

End of stage? 

Yes dear, we are getting to the end of a stage.

Regards to ur appendix, lol

Salam Ramez,

Thank u very much for ur wise advice. This is not my purpose to get a debate, never, just i shared my own point of view abt the topic :)

Dear bro, u should know that during years I used to be agnostic.

Actually my daughter is atheist 100%. We talk so much abt many topics, but we never fight. I pray everyday for her.

But Allah had mercy of me and let me found the right path.

I had to swallow my pride.

Sometimes the pain can let u discover wonderful realities.

Aristóteles used to say that life is a constantly change.

I know by now that nobody can take a shower using the same water day after day. Life changes, and I did too.

This is not wise to fall down in a swamp, but it is worst when u keep drowned without fighting for ur life!

Alamdulillah i found 2 bigs wings to fly so high awaaaaaaaaaay: the left one is called "love" and the right one is called "faith", but i can not tell u which is the right human organ that produces love or faith, many atheist says it is just an stage of the mind.

But, u know? as for me, I refuse to keep only the material, only those things that can be seen through the eyes, and those than can be explained trough a scientific basement. That means for me is mediocrity.

As for me, the human being is much more than mediocrity!!!!

I think that you are much clever than to think that everything in this existance has scientific reason or justification,yes science is great…but have you ever asked your self,what's the significance of the brain which distinguishes us humanbeings from all other creatures ?

Absolutely it is to distinguish the greatness of Allah the creator of all !

If humans did not use their minds to reflect and extract theories,then they will not be aware of the great creator who made those things so !

It is your God…you should distinguish and recognize that.

Your soul is a great example,if it is just a heart beating,then how you can feel things,can you tell me what's the organ responsible DIRECTLY for emotions and feelings.

I think no wise man can deny the spiritual side of the humanbeing.

Wwhen talking about religion,you should bear in mind that Islam is a special case unlike the other CHANGED books,it has been preserved from any changings…the first word that revealed upon the prophet Mohammad pbuh was "READ"

As well as many other verses in Quran that describes perfectly many phenomena in the earth and with non of them has been proven officially to be wrong or contradicted.

You your self are the greates miracle on earth,just try to listen to your sincere self.

LIFE WOULDN'T BE WITHOUT A WISE ALMIGHTY "ONE" CREATOR.

"Human being has being designed perfect. Many diseases have nothing to do with the perfection of human design."
Humans beings aren't that perfect. As I said, Appendix is a good example.
Other examples include 6 fingured people, people with a tail, "wolf men", Albinos, Hairless people etc. These are all small changes in the human genetic code. Errors in copying.
I have a questions, Why don't children of Black mother and Chinese father look like caucassian(White)?
These are Not environmental problems, these are genetic once.

When a Sperm and an Ova having 23 chromosomes each  fuse together a sigle cell of progeny is formed.i.e 46 Chromosomes
DNA replications is a tricky process. The DNA splits up into 2 Parts . DNA is made up of 4 neucleotides called
Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, Cytosine i.e ATGC. These are the buliding blocks of DNA.
Suppose AATTGcACG resluts in a person with Right hand, a simple change  in the structure may lead to a left handed person
Gene sequencing research is still going on.
Search for Trangenic Animals and Plants

Intresting Do you know who the Father of Genetics is ?
He is Gregor Mendel, One of the greatest Scientist ever!!. He was a Christian Monk in Austria. Unfortunatly this great man's research was gathering dust till 1900. Religious authority thought that it was blasphemous etc etc.

"Religion has nothing to do with the fact that the human being ist he only responsible for creating many of the diseases that exist today because of their own selfishness and greed."
Many diseases are because of Greed and destruction of environment. But not all.

No human being wont be able never to compare with God's creation. No yesterday, no today, no tomorrow.
Ever heard of AI(Artifical Inteligence)? It is still in it's infancy though.

"babies might born with heart problems, coz of bad cares the mother took during pregnant or for the inheritance from the father's genes."
How is it that Very very bad parent's children have health heart? The baby has to be taken proper care, that is for sure.
http://www.ucsfhealth.org/conditions/genetic_heart_disorders/
Inheritence is from both father and mother.

"If u buy a computer, and it was desinged to work perfectly, but, during a process, this computer gets a virus.
Will u go to claim to the store, why they sold u a computer that is failing?? or would u understand there are viruses that can damage ur equipment??"

I am not talking about Common Disease causing Virusus. I am telling that the Hard ware it self has problems.
One more thing is that Virus has helped in Evolutions as well.
