There is a scene from a series called Joan of Arcadia (a truly undervalued series from the early 2000s) where Joan asks teen boy God to show her a miracle, and he points to a tree. She says “that’s just a tree” and he replies “Lets see you make one”

Do you believe in magic?

    Ok, then replace “divine” in my last comment with “miracle”. It’s still a theologically and emotionally loaded term

      That was kind of my point – people associate “miracle” with good. With an act of God (whoever their God might be) but they don’t see an unexplained act of badness the same way.

      That was the debate that started all this :)
