Miracle?

Just heard of a miracle of sorts, that a Malaysian "Baby was found "floating" on a matress that survived the Tsunamis in that Country!

Floating on a matress, can you believe that?

Now adding to that sort of miracle, the Baby was "reunited" with it's family who also survived !!! :-6

Seems to have overtones of something that happened similar to that over 2000 years ago, floating down the River, M- - - -! :-2

So if this was a miracle what was the event that caused 138,000 deaths?

I assume you do not intend to be sarcastic. I mean no offence but I profess no religon and the most you can say about god, if such a thing exists, is that he,she,it is completely indifferent. The baby being saved is no more a miracle than the deaths were.

I do not profess to be that religious either, (can't, won't even try to explain the senseless mass deaths) it just struck me that in the midst of all that death & turmoil this baby "survived on a matress"!!! And then to somehow be "reunited with its family", again in the midst of of all that termoil! You do have to admit that is rather out of the ordinary? :wah: (A miracle of sorts, at least for the baby)

My brother always has a good answer for such seeming inconsistencies: "God is Love, but Mother Nature is a B*TCH" :rolleyes:

Curious if you believe in pure coincidences? Ever had things happen to you that could be described as coincidence but made you think about a something other than just fate?

Although we cannot possibly see the thread now.... The tradgedy that occured, will be responsible for changing events in the world in a very profound way. I f it touched the heart, or the mind of decision makers.. they may make a different decision. The FLOATING BABY , and the surviving family are a miracle. Perhaps admist all the death, the message is" Look world, dont give up hope, out of the rubble an amazing event can occur?' Perhaps the family of the child will be so unbelievaby grateful, and moved.. that they will be responsible for affecting the world. Who knows? who knows who knows..................
