"miracle" or science?

Bills TE Kevin Everett may very well walk again thanks to quick thinking doctors, the fact that the injury occurred with some fantastic Emergency Responders and trainers literally feet away and due to years of scientific research.

Now, Kevin's mom claims it could be a miracle and I don't begrudge her that. If her son walks again, she can claim whatever she wants.

But what I find most interesting (and ironic) is that the very same people who would claim that his possible recovery is the hand of God, are the very same people who will do everything they can to halt the very types of research that gave him the chance to walk again. Much of the research into spinal cord injuries has occurred in recent years and thanks to the work and focus of Christopher Reeves. A man who called for more money, more research including research into stem cells.

So, don't you find it ironic that those who would claim incredible advances in medical science as "miracles" are the very same people who are doing everything they can to stop medical science progress.

I for one would prefer to rely on medical science and not wait for the miracle if I'm ever in need of medical care. I'll accept any miracles that come my way, but it seems like a better bet to focus on medical research.
