Respected Sir,

I am fervent follower of your philosophies and particularly find the doctrine of “Existentialism” which lays the precise conceptual reflection of an existential disposition that initiates with a sense of delusion and disarray in the face of an evidently non-meaningful or illogical world. Your philosophies have been accepted by sundry people all over the globe and endured the chases of altering times. Withal, with due deference, I would like to allude that I happen to disaccord with your views on the verity of miracles, which you deem as absolute paradox.

I do not intend to debate on the topic, but I believe that absolute paradox is similar to that miracle which, as per to Hume, permits a human being to have faith in Christianity against the doctrines of his apprehension. I absorb such a decision on the grounds that you do not conceive Christianity as a philosophy with a verity and, moreover, you consider that all historical upshots (like miracles) are dubious. On one hand, you believe in the Humean concept of miracles probably instituting the verity of Christianity that is not applicable. On the other hand, you signify the absolute paradox as the consideration of faith in a manner that it gets close to Hume's concept of a personal miracle which results in the corruption of the doctrines of the believer's apprehension.

I believe, a miracle is a detectable pause of the laws of creation, such that can be explicated by divine intercession. People in variant acculturations have considerably variant explanations of the term "miracle." Even within a particular religion there is frequently more than one of the words. At times the word "miracle" may denote to the accomplishment of a supernatural being which is not God. So, the word "divine intercession," by counterpoint, would denote especially to the direct interference of God. In general terminology, "miracle" may also denote to any statistically improbable but advantageous occurrence (like the subsistence of a natural calamity).

The logic behind an occurrence being considered a miracle differs dominantly. Frequently a religious text, like the Quran or the Bible, mentions that a miracle took place and the ones who believe in this absorb this as an entity. Nevertheless, one cannot conceive a miracle took place if one had already formulated ratiocination in one's mind that miracles are not probable at all. We can take the instance of an individual who claims to have seen ghost but had dismissed the encounter as illogical, deeming the incident as a hallucination because the individual did not believe in ghosts. Sundry conservative religious conceivers believe that in the absence of a arguable, penurious scientific hypothesis, the best consideration for these occurrences is that they were executed by a supernatural power, and allude this as proof for the subsistence of a God or Gods. Sundry disciples of monotheistic religions affirm that miracles, if demonstrated, are proof for the subsistence of an all-powerful, all-knowing, and loving God.

The explanations of sundry miracles in the Christian New Testament are frequently similar to the ordinary account of the term: God interferes in the laws of creation. In St John's Gospel the miracles are deemed to as "signals" and the importance is on God establishing his fundamental normal accomplishments in noteworthy manners.

Jesus is believed as having transformed water into wine, fed a large number of followers by transforming a loaf of bread into sundry loaves of bread, and aroused the demised. Jesus is also established as arising from the demised himself. Jesus explicates in the New Testament that miracles are executed by faith and trust in God. If one has faith as tiny as a mustard seed, one can enunciate to this mountain, “loco mote from hither to thither” and it won’t loco mote. After Jesus devolved to heaven, the book of Acts lays down the followers of Jesus imploring to God to bestow that miracles be accomplished in His name, for the cause of winning over onlookers that he is not dead. Other parts allude False prophets who will be capable of executing miracles to betray even the chosen of Christ.

Thus, there have been sundry mentions throughout the history of times, providing the sacred books such as the Bible, the Quran or the Ramayana and the Mahabharata of the Hindu Culture, that reveal the verity of miracles, and go against the idea of miracles being “absolute paradox.”

With due respect, I hope that I haven’t hurt the sentiments of yours and, at any instant, been imprudent or debatable. It was just a belief of mine that I wished to bring before you.

Yours Sincerely,
