On behalf of all those who believe there exists a creator and that "life is a miracle", let me say a few things, kindly bear with me:
My life is a miracle? What about the life of the botfly? Or the smallpox virus? Are they miracles? May I kindly suggest you read yourself a science textbook and stop reading religious texts.
If you know science well and what miracle means, the life of botfly, your life, my life, Aapa's life , Abd Al-Hadi's life, even virus all are miracles. If you still insist your life is not a miracle, then I must add further, "you have a choice to take a relook, with fresh clean unprejudiced state", there that's the message of creator said in my own words.
I once heard a debate between the creationist and the atheist. The atheist clearly pointed out he does not like that there should exist a creator! So that self-deceit coupled with intelligence and lack of faith made him a good debator, a waste of time and space for those who believe in god.
So an all powerful God exists and has an important message to give mankind, and does so by relying on text? By relying on languages that die off, by relying on hearsay and third-hand accounts of miracles? And this is the reason to believe, to have faith?
Yes Creator has a message to give to mankind and has done it in ways that was best for its times. Currently (and till end of world), it is Quran and Sunnah of Prophet
. Some choose to retain third-hand accounts of miracles out of bias, call a language dead by bias, while others spend time and effort to be certain they end up inculcating the message and applying life's journey here on earth.
These are general questions that people have so what's the issue with inquiring from others who have more knowledge? Is it not the obligation of Muslims to spread the knowledge of Islam if they have it when a person asks sincerely?
There is no need of excessive words, but serious non self-deceiving contemplation. There are signs in entire creation, and there is a difference between looking and seeing. The essence of creator cannot be grasped or compared to, by man. We will never have figures or statistics to completely quantify the creator.
stop reading religious texts
I find your response as being slightly intolerant, please bare with me when I pose questions.
Either its your intolerance or your tolerance, time will tell. ( See the marooned font color above )
