1) The trouble is with the words belief, faith etc., When you subscribe to them you take out the perception of reality by our senses. Then every thing is a miracle.

For example: Lets say, I believe that a cat is dog.(doesn't matter what the facts (as perceived by my physical senses)are; This is an equivalent of the statements: I believe that He/God created the Universe or that He/She/God did not create the Universe). Neither party have any facts or some thing tangible to verify by all commoners.

So If I believe a cat is a dog, I guess I am not far from miracles, am I?

In my opinion it is very important to verify to the best we can all our assumptions before we rely on them, other wise we can conclude interesting things. For example: if a cat is a dog then a cats are loyal to their masters!

Therefore before we say God created this universe or otherwise or one God vs. hundred Gods or even better Man God vs. Woman God or because Bible/Budda/Khoran says it, better check out all the assumptions. Finally, If your are happy with a cat being a dog, hey merry yourself!
