In our modern age, where science explains so much of the natural world, many scoff at the idea of a virgin birth or a resurrection from the dead. Aren’t those just outdated religious fantasies? How can any thinking person take them seriously today? The answer lies not in abandoning reason, but in understanding the limits of science and the power of God.
Science Describes What Usually Happens, Not What Can’t Happen
Science deals with repeatable, observable processes. It tells us what typically occurs under certain conditions. But science does not claim to know everything about reality, nor can it rule out all exceptions.
By definition, miracles are exceptions to natural law—not violations, but interventions by the God who created those laws. The resurrection and the virgin birth are not absurd if God exists; they are consistent with the nature of a God who is all-powerful and purposeful.
“For with God nothing will be impossible.”
— Luke 1:37, NKJV
The Virgin Birth Was Prophesied and Fulfilled with Purpose
The Bible never presents the virgin birth as a vague myth or metaphor. It was foretold centuries earlier:
“Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.”
— Isaiah 7:14, NKJV
And it was fulfilled in time and space when Mary, a young woman pledged to Joseph, conceived by the Holy Spirit:
“And the angel answered and said to her, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.’”
— Luke 1:35, NKJV
This wasn’t just a miraculous birth—it was God stepping into human history.
The Resurrection Is Not a Legend—It’s the Foundation of the Christian Faith
Christianity doesn’t survive the collapse of the resurrection. It’s not a metaphor for renewal—it’s a bodily, historical event. The apostles staked their lives on it.
“And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty.”
— 1 Corinthians 15:14, NKJV
They weren’t perpetuating a myth. They were eyewitnesses:
“He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days…”
— Acts 1:3, NKJV
Thomas doubted—just like modern skeptics—until Jesus stood before him and said:
“‘Reach your finger here, and look at My hands… Do not be unbelieving, but believing.’ And Thomas answered and said to Him, ‘My Lord and my God!’”
— John 20:27–28, NKJV
These events weren’t claimed centuries later; they were proclaimed while witnesses were still alive.
Miracles Are Not Against Science—They Transcend It
Saying miracles can’t happen because they defy scientific explanation is not science—it’s a worldview. If God is real—and He is—then His ability to override natural processes is no more unbelievable than a programmer updating their own software.
“Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.’”
— John 11:25, NKJV
The resurrection is not just a past miracle—it’s a future hope for every believer.
You don’t have to turn off your brain to believe in miracles. You simply have to open your heart to the possibility that God is real, active, and not limited by the laws He created. The virgin birth and resurrection aren’t primitive myths—they are divine declarations that God has entered our world, conquered death, and made a way for us to live forever.
“Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
— John 20:29, NKJV
