Series: Divine Action in the World
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science.

Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
