Well, i havent read much of this discussion but I would say I believe in the miraculaous creation of this universe by whatever means it happened. I take God to be it's Creator and unto Him is all praise. Talking about the miracles, I saw a street show in my childhood in which a magician was tied with a rope to one of the four poles in a tent and he changed the poles in seconds as the curtain was raised and pulled! And in the last I saw him come out from a nearby roof! If the mirales are to be taken as means to determine the truthfulness of a religion then all religions do have some miracles performed by their preachers..

Islam, However, is not based on miracles as the same have not been mentioned with authenticity anywhere. And this is the BIG miracle of Islam that without any miracles, the illeterate Prophet could so perfectly convince both ignorants and the scholars of that time and this time too about the existance of God and His attributes. He was tremendously succesful in uniting the people on the Unity of God. Isn't it a miracle in itself..
I think thats the message this thread attempted to convey..
Be Good, Do Good.
