Matthew 9, 27-35
at that time. While the Lord Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him shouting: "Son of David, have mercy on us." Entered the house, the blind men approached and Jesus said to them: "Do you think I can do this?". They answered, "Yes, Lord." Then he touched their eyes and said, "Let it be for you according to your faith." And their eyes were opened. Then Jesus sternly warned them: "See that no one knows about." But they went out and spread the news throughout the region. Leaving them, offered him a dumb man possessed. And after the devil was cast out, the dumb man speak. And the crowds were amazed, saying, "It was never so seen in Israel." But the Pharisees said, "He casts out demons by the prince of demons." Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing every sickness and every disease.
order that the miracle be done, Jesus asks " confidence."
The evil thinks with a fund of sarcasm: "Yeah, someone who already believe what they see is not reliable witness."
But Jesus does not ask that kind of confidence.
Jesus asks believe in the possibility of a miracle.
believe in the possibility of a miracle in some cases makes the more rational faith in the miracle of faith if .
The reasoning is this: if the possibility of a miracle is extremely small and, simultaneously, the possibility that an event will occur is extremely remote, if someday that 'event occur, there will be more reasonable to believe in a miracle that in an accident.
From CS Lewis, to Cardinal Newman, to Francis Collins, 't have explained many. Behind the conclusion C 'is the Bayesian rationality, the same used by science. 'S one thing that is required is the' opening to the possibility, however small, of a miracle ( Bayesian a priori).
I'd say give a chance to reveal a miracle ' greater openness than the granite a priori certainty of its impossibility !
