Alright folks. Calm down so we could get a few basics out of our way as a first step. Then we could all get down to the brass tacks.

We all know that in our minds we could do whatever we want, whenever we want, whoever we want, whichever we want, wherever we want and however we want. We could imagine pretty much anything. But in the physical world, alas, we hit limitations.

How do we overcome these physical limitations so that supernatural could become natural seems to be the question. After all, the very definition of the word miracle is that it is "an effect or extraordinary event in the physical world that surpasses all known human or natural powers and is ascribed to a supernatural cause."

A thousand years back, two people separated by huge distances talking to each other on something like a phone would have been considered a miracle. Now it is not. A thousand years back flying to the moon or landing a man-made contraption on Mars would have been considered a miracle. Now it is not.

What happened between then and now? We gained knowledge and therefore we overcame a few things. What was unknown back then is known, albeit very little, now.

Exactly the same thing I had pointed out few pages back. Several centuries or even decades back, many things were considered supernatural and miraculous. But now all are within man's grasp. If man had stopped thinking and accepted them as God's miracles and beyond man's grasp, we would have been living in Dinosaur Age.

So what would be considered a miracle now? If you want to fly, you have to beat gravity. If you want to talk to your loved ones who are not there anymore, you have to come up with a time machine. You want to say a prayer and heal others or get healed, may be you have to come up with some voice recognition software that downloads a pill using the airwaves that cures the said problem?! Who knows?! But what we don't have now is the knowledge (tacit or explicit) to do all this and more.

Now if there is thing called free will, you probably can't circumvent the free will of others, in which case you have to enter the world of simulation. Or have your own universe where you "oversee" your "subjects". If that is possible then no reason to think that it hasn't already happened, that we are indeed the "subjects" that somebody from the future is "overseeing"!

Interesting theory. By any chance has this got to do with Special Relativity? I am studying a similar text on time travel and existence of parallel universe based on SR.😲

Sweet dreams!

Then let's start hunting for the person who has achieved 100 % intelligence, & ask him/her to try moving a mountain literally. 😆

Such type of humans even if existed, aren't yet found, so that's why the distinction between human & divine. 😉
