Stanley L Jaki Miracles do happen though they may not be witnessed by physicists Classic scoffers at miracles have invariably hidden a doubtful reasoning in their specious references to Newtonian physics The same is true of some theologian physicists who take the indeterminacy principle of quantum mechanics for a loophole for miracles The author himself a theologian and a physicist sees in the recognition of miracles a litmus test of sound philosophy and reasoned religion With an international renown as a historian and philosopher of science he offers this book as a shield against two dangers One is the lure of the demythologizers of miracles with their protestations of respect for the demands of the scientific world view The other is the popularity of those who in order to keep miracles offer a mistaken interpretation of modern physics and are left with no miracles at all
