That About Sums It Up for Me Right Now: Warwick Fairfax from "The Triple Abyss"
Along the lines of my current personal paraphrase, "everything's a miracle; but some miracles are more equal than others," comes this quip by Warwick Fairfax, quoted in Roy Williams' very stimulating "God, Actually" :
Things happen with devastating certainty, but so gradually, so logically and so methodically that when the miracle is finally accomplished it appears perfectly natural and is called a scientific fact.Compare this to C. S. Lewis' conceit that many if not all of Jesus' miracles were a mere speeding up or slowing down of the natural order of things (e.g., changing water into wine).— Fairfax, "The Triple Abyss"
