### Philosophical Justification for the Absence of Miracles** - Miracles are no longer necessary because humanity has reached an age of reason where faith must be voluntary. - The true "miracle" is their wisdom, not supernatural acts (paralleling Jesus’ critique of "sign-seeking" in Matthew 12:39). - The Second Coming is a _spiritual_ rather than _physical_ event (akin to some liberal or Gnostic interpretations).
