It would only be a pejorative if you regard superstition as something to be judged. I didn't judge superstition, I just pointed out people use what they call miracles to justify those beliefs.
They use the word "miracle" (which expresses surprise) to express that something they never expected to happen actually happened. Fucking obviously!RCSaunders wrote: ↑Sun May 17, 2020 3:27 pm I just pointed out people use what they call miracles to justify those beliefs.

Newtons Law Of Universal Gravitation was accepted without question for over two centuries before being invalidated by General Relativity
General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics are the twin pillars of twentieth century physics - yet they are entirely incompatible
Science can only account for just four per cent of the observable Universe - dark energy and dark matter are complete mysteries
The Standard Model Of Particle Physics cannot account for the extra ninety six per cent - and it is the most accurate model there is
All knowledge arrived at by induction is provisional and so should never be regarded as absolute as the above statements demonstrate
andAt the cutting edge of scientific research is all hypothesis, not established theory, and it is always that part of science those who claim nothing is established in science address.
You have named a handful of things that science is still grappling with as though they were all of science. They are a tiny fraction of science.There is always more to learn about everything, even in science, and many scientific principles become refined and more nuanced, but basic principles are never cancelled by new knowledge.
