Definitions of miracles

in 1970 the average age of death in europe was 87.4, it is now 73.8. now unless my eyes decieve me, that's a fall.

so a miracle is simply a word used to explain things that humans don't understand at this moment in time? yes i see your point, but the reason not everybody has their prayers answered is because of faith. you must have a certain amount of faith that God can do what you're asking him to do for him to do it. in the bible, Jesus is very reluctant to prove himself to anybody on request, only for those who have faith does he provide miracles for. this shows that God won't just heal anybody, they need FAITH.

Please show me where you found these figures. Thanks!

i got it from the bbc website in the politics section where the debate on pensions is currently under way.

Link, please!

thanks... i think

Rockpie- So where is the link to back up your statement about longevity?

I decided to search for the link, myself, but all I found was this page!

Didn't find anything on the BBC pages...
