"Miracles" are the inevitable outcome of denying that the divine is normal. The ParaNormal is only "Para-", due to a definition based in denial, that Normal does not include the divine. MetaPhysics is only "Meta-", due to a definition based in denial, that Physics does not include the higher densities.

The question is, are you willing to beleive in miracles?
...because the only thing truly impossible is that which you believe so, and then that applies only to your own reality:

"Everything that can be invented has been invented." (Charles H. Duell, commissioner, US Office of Patents, 1899)

Atomic Bomb:

"The bomb will never [go off explode], and I speak as an expert in explosives." -- Adm. William Leahy, U.S. Atomic Energy Project, 1945.

Automotive:

"The ordinary 'horseless carriage' is at present a luxury for the wealthy; and although its price will probably fall in the future, it will never come into as common use as the bicycle." -- The Literary Digest, 1889.

Computers:

"I think there is a world market for maybe five computers." -- Thomas Watson, Chairman, IBM, 1943.

"Computers in the future may weigh no more than 1.5 tons." -- Popular Mechanics, 1949.

"There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in their home." -- (Ken Olsen, president, chairman and founder of Digital Equipment Corp., 1977)

Flying:

"Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible." -- (President, Royal Society, 1895; Physicist and mathematician Lord Kelvin (1824-1907))

"The [flying] machine will eventually be fast; they will be used in sport, but they are not to be thought of as commercial carriers." -- Octave Chanute, aviation pioneer, 1904.

"Airplanes are interesting toys but of no military value." -- (Marshal Ferdinand Foch, French commander of Allied forces during the closing months of World War I, 1918)

"Professor Goddard does not know the relation between action and reaction and the need to have something better than a vacuum against which to react. He seems to lack the basic knowledge ladled out daily in high schools." -- (New York Times editorial about Robert Goddard's revolutionary rocket work, 1921)

"Landing and moving around on the moon offer so many serious problems for human beings that it may take science another 200 years to lick them." -- Science Digest, August, 1948.

Radio:

"Radio has no future." -- Physicist and mathematician Lord Kelvin (1824-1907)

"The wireless music box has no imaginable commercial value. Who would pay for a message sent to nobody in particular?" -- (David Sarnoff's associates, in response to his urgings for investment in radio in the 1920's)
