Atheists often pose the question, “Why do you only believe the miraculous accounts of your own religion?” The implication is that I have no more reason to believe in the biblical miracles than those described in the Koran or the Gospels. But the question fails to appreciate how the religious personally approaches his faith. I didn’t sit down one day, consider whether or not God split the sea, and decide to believe it. If I did, the question would be a good one. Rather, I consider the theological explanation of the world presented by the Bible and the rabbinic tradition and conclude that the story it tells is compelling. If miraculous events are part of that story, then I accept them as well because of the role they play in the general theological account. It is this theological account that I believe best explains the world and humanity’s interaction with it.
