Why all this heated debate about 'miracles'? What are they worth anyway? There's this famous story about the Buddha. He watched a saintly chappie walk across the river and then commented, "I can cross that river by paying a penny for the ferry." That's about the value of most 'miracles', they don't help anybody in particular, are believed in only by those predisposed to belief and distract attention from more important matters in both spiritual and temporal realms. -- Kabira khada bazaar mein, maange sabki khair, Na kehu se dosti, na kehu se bair -- Kabir
