I don't know if your usage of the word is a metaphoric "highly unlikely" or a literal "divine intervention"... Yeah, I'd be curious to know why water is any more "unlikely" than any other molecule found on Earth. Water is necessary for us to be alive but so are many other things like iron for example. We couldn't exist in an environment totally lacking in iron. We may survive there for a short time but eventually we would die and we could certainly not have children there. Why isn't iron miraculous as well? Again you scoff at another miracle. But this time, you ridicule water, the most miraculous molecule. Careful you don't choke on your Perrier. |

A "mythos" might not exist for the reason you think it does. And...is it miraculous for water molecules to be present on asteroids? I would think that it would be expected, that is, that nobody is really surprised to find confirmation for what was expected... 1) How many planets did Jesus appear on? Based on your awareness, Jesus appears on every planet. |

Well, planets are the final result of the collisions of countless asteroids (themselves being caused by the accretion of cosmic dust coming from the remnants of novae and supernovas). So everything a planet contains comes from these asteroids and that of course includes its water. So finding water in some asteroids is not only NOT miraculous at all but it was very expected. In fact if it was proven that asteroids NEVER contain water THEN you would have your miracle because the existence of this water would be a total mystery. IOW, you're off the mark, way off the mark! What you call an accretion of cosmic dust I call the cosmos. Up until just a moment ago, the smartest creatures on this planet thought their water came from upstream, or from a storm cloud, or maybe from a mountain top glacier. But you and I, when asked where our water came from, we say it came "from comets and asteroids." Life on this planet for damned near four billion years, and only the last couple of generations of humans have been able to think of and say that. We are miracles, bro. Own it. It's like you believe that the more you use words like "miracle" the more points you get in the after life... Do you think your god keeps score of that? And if so, are you aiming at sainthood* or something? *which no matter how you look at it is granted by humans, very flawed humans and not god. Let's not forget that. |

Funny thing is that if it wasn't ironic, that would be ironic as well.  Iron not being ironic, what could be more ironic than that? |

Own it. *which no matter how you look at it is granted by humans, very flawed humans and not god. Let's not forget that. That's a traditional Roman Catholic perspective. When Paul wrote to the church in Corinth, he called them "saints," and not only had they not performed the three requisite miracles, or whatever, they were very dysfunctional in a lot of ways. "Sainthood" is conferred, not earned. |
