The question of how God works is one which many struggle with. While this is especially true in the case of the issue of creation with respect to Genesis 1, it really is a broader issue relating to any intervention of God into the physical realm, especially with regard to human affairs. While readers of this journal generally assume that God can intervene in the space-time continuum, this study begins with a reminder of why the Christian view is that He can. It observes that these interventions are given a generic name of ‘miracles,’ and then reviews the nature of miracles focusing on examples of Biblical descriptions of events that are presented specifically as miracles by the Biblical author. This is followed by an evaluation of the terminology used in Genesis 1 to describe the original creation event and why Biblically speaking it must be viewed as miraculous.
