The sailing of huge ships over fathomless seas and the flight of aeroplanes with their passengers in the vastness of the atmosphere are also as breathtaking divine miracles as that of a river parting its waters - again a miracle granted to Moses - so that people could walk in safety across the river bed. And then creating machinery and power tools out of inert matter is surely just as strange a divine miracle as a stick turning into a writhing snake. The fact remains that, so far as their probative value is concerned, the miracles given to the prophets in ancient times, in support of the veracity of their message, exist in abundance throughout God’s universe. Since in the remote past, these miracles had not come to the knowledge of man, God had to demonstrate them when it was crucial to his moral development. The scientific investigations of today have merely unveiled those same marvels of nature, which have always sufficed to reaffirm man’s belief in God and the Hereafter.
