About this episode
The episode explores the relationship between miracles, faith, and scientific evidence, addressing whether miracles still happen and how they are interpreted.
TF | S03 E20 | In this episode of Thinking Faith, Deacon Eric Gurash and Dr. Brett Salkeld respond to a question from Grade 9–10 students at Miller High School: Do miracles still happen—and why can’t science prove them?Exploring Scripture, theology, and real-world examples, they unpack the relationship between miracles, faith, and scientific evidence. The conversation highlights why miracles in the Bible—and today—are not “proofs” that force belief, but signs that invite a personal response and deeper relationship with God.They also examine how the Church evaluates miracles, the limits of science in explaining the supernatural, and why openness—rather than certainty—shapes how we interpret extraordinary events. This episode offers a thoughtful and accessible look at how faith and reason work together, and why miracles ultimately point beyond themselves to hope, conversion, and God’s presence in the world.00:00 Miracles Question00:52 Why We Love Q and A01:55 Framing Modern Skepticism03:27 New Testament Not Naive05:08 Miracles Need Interpretation07:39 Miracles Don't Force Faith09:20 Science Limits and Saints12:09 Canonization Beyond Evidence13:53 Shroud of Turin Cautions16:49…
