Ever since the beginning of the existence of human beings, the question of the existence of God have been asked. Many arguments have been proposed to prove that God does exist. One of these arguments is the argument of miracles. God have always been the one to blame for all sorts of miracles. Even in religious texts, God have been dubbed the one responsible for supernatural events. But one has to ask, "what are these so-called "miracles?"" A miracle is not just a surprising or unusual event; it is a violation of natural law by a supernatural being. Some theists would argue that if there are events that seem to be miracles, and the best explanation for these events is that a miracle worker performed them; therefore, there probably is a miracle worker, namely, God.
Speaking from a critic's point of view, this argument is not sound since a miracle worker does not necessarily mean that it is God. A miracle worker does not have to be all knowing, all-powerful, or all good. For example, many theists believe that the Devil is a miracle worker but he is not all knowing, all-powerful, nor all good. So if the Devil can be a miracle worker without those three characteristics, then a miracle worker does not have to be God.
Another argument against this miracle theory is that since miracles are violations of natural law, then God would be breaking his own laws. But that would means God made a mistake and he is not all knowing. If God were a perfect being, then he would not have to interfere or fix his creation. So whenever miracles happen, it would prove against the existence of God.
