    reply that covers more than 2 screens is to long for effective

    No one has proposed any reasons why God needs to violate the perfect
    physical relationships
    in this universe to accomplish his goals. Is it not true that uncivilized
    people call technology "magic" when they first see it?

    Consider Moses, Pharoh's magicians, and the stick into snakes trick. The
    both accomplished the exact same procedure, the only difference being
    that Moses' snake was bigger than the Egyptian snakes. Why, then, do
    Christians call Moses' trick a miracle but the Egyptian's trick, magic?
    The difference between miracle and magic is size and aggressiveness?
