Miracles: A Question of History or Playing with the Laws of Nature? – Hamilton Reasons For Faith
2026-03-31 19:00 - 21:00 (Pacific/Auckland) | Lady Goodfellow Chapel, University of Waikato, Gate One Knighton Rd, Hamilton, Waikato, 3216, New Zealand

A dilemma faced by any serious student of the Bible is that embedded within the text are strange tales of demons exorcised, water turned into wine, the lame healed, the blind seeing and even people walking on water and being resurrected from the dead! What are we to make of these stories? Are they real, as the historical record seems to suggest – or are they simple fabrications of a primitive, pre-scientific people who were ignorant of the very Laws of Nature. If they are fairy tales, why are they reported in such a straight-forward way, without any seeming embellishment? If these so-called miracles did happen, doesn’t that upset the very basis of our understanding of the physical universe? If miracles are possible does that imply that God plays dice with the universe?
