神迹有可能发生吗？科学不是已经排除了超自然吗？
Are miracles possible? Hasn't science ruled out the supernatural?
简答 Short Answer
科学研究自然规律，但不能排除设立规律的那位偶尔介入。如果上帝存在且创造了自然律，祂当然有能力在特定时刻超越自然律行事。
Science studies natural laws but cannot rule out the Lawgiver occasionally intervening. If God exists and created natural laws, He certainly has the power to act beyond them at specific moments.
详细解答 Detailed Answer
反对神迹的经典论证来自18世纪的休谟：「神迹违反自然律，而我们对自然律的经验是一致的，所以神迹不可能发生。」但这个论证是循环论证：它假设自然律不可能被超越来论证神迹不可能发生。
关键问题是：上帝存在吗？如果上帝存在，神迹就不仅是可能的，而且是合理的。一个能创造整个宇宙和所有自然律的上帝，当然有能力在特定情况下超越这些律。正如鲁益师所说：「如果你承认有一位超自然的上帝，那神迹就不是问题；如果你不承认，那才是真正需要讨论的问题。」
科学描述的是自然界在正常情况下的运作规律。但科学不能声称这些规律永远不可能被超越。这就像台球桌上的球按物理定律运动，但如果有一只手伸进来移动了一颗球，物理定律并没有被「违反」——只是有一个外部的力量介入了。
基督教最核心的神迹是耶稣的复活。如果复活是真的，那其他一切神迹都不成问题。而复活有强有力的历史证据：空坟墓、众多目击者（超过500人，林前15:6）、门徒从恐惧转为甘愿殉道、初代教会的爆发性增长。
科学家可以研究自然界的规律，但他们不能用科学来否定超自然的可能性——因为超自然的领域本来就不在科学的管辖范围之内。
The classic argument against miracles comes from Hume: Miracles violate natural laws, our experience of natural laws is uniform, therefore miracles cannot occur. But this is circular reasoning: it assumes natural laws cannot be superseded to argue miracles cannot happen.
The key question: Does God exist? If God exists, miracles are not only possible but reasonable. A God who created the entire universe and all natural laws can certainly supersede them in specific situations. As C.S. Lewis said: If you admit a supernatural God, miracles present no problem; if you don't, that's the real issue to discuss.
Science describes how nature normally operates. But science cannot claim these laws can never be superseded. Like billiard balls moving by physics, but if a hand reaches in and moves one, physics isn't violated; an external force intervened.
Christianity's central miracle is Jesus's resurrection. If the resurrection is true, all other miracles are unproblematic. Strong historical evidence supports it: the empty tomb, numerous eyewitnesses (over 500, 1 Cor 15:6), disciples transforming from fearful to martyrdom-willing, and the explosive growth of the early church.
Scientists can study natural laws but cannot use science to deny supernatural possibilities, since the supernatural is outside science's jurisdiction.
