| heard this prescription live on the air several months ago:

"Refuse to believe in coincidence and you will see miracles." - Glenn Beck

I heard that and thought: Yup, I can sure see why it would then look like miracles all the way down.

I do not cite this to signal disapproval of Beck; on the whole I think well of him. I just thought it was a clear example.

If I knew nothing about Glenn Beck, I would assume that this was meant as a dismissal of miracles.
