My Book Of Miracles (eBook)

I was born and raised in a small steel mill town in Ohio. My parents were old enough to be my grandparents. Mother thought she had a tumor and found out she was pregnant in her forties. Dad was in his fifties. She always referred to me as her little tumor. I enjoyed a normal childhood with many playmates, we came home when the streetlights came on. I was fortunate enough to have been raised in a loving home. Mom and Dad weren't churchgoers, and the subject of God never came up. They did teach me a short prayer when I was very young. "e;Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray to you Lord my soul to keep, if I should die before I awake, I pray to you Lord, my soul to take."e; So as a small child, I just accepted the existence of a "e;higher power"e;. When I became older, friends would discuss God. Once, several agreed on this statement. "e;Where did God come from? Nobody can answer that, proving there is no God."e; I didn't say anything but still believed in my "e;higher power."e; In school, I was taught the Big Bang Theory. Astronomers believe the universe began as a singular point and expanded to the size it is today and is still expanding. So everything came from virtually nothing? This never made much sense to me. At All. I was also taught that most scientists believe that RNA, or something similar to RNA, was the first molecule to self-replicate and begin the process of evolution that led to more advanced forms of life, including human beings. What? So this is the answer to thousands and thousands and thousands of aquatic creatures, birds, animals, and humans? Scientists believe the earliest life forms we know of were microscopic organisms, microbes, that left signals of their presence in rocks about 3.7 billion years old. These scientific theories only strengthened my belief in a "e;higher power"e;. If you think about and study, these two believed explanations of all life everywhere, will begin to make no sense.
