I have recently read "Miracles:  A Preliminary Study", by C.S. Lewis.  I highly
recommend it to those on both sides of the question, "Is the physical universe
all there is?"  Lewis was at his best in that book; it shows very logically
that the Supernatural must exist, that the physical universe isn't the whole
show, and that miracles are very possible.  Lewis's purpose in this book was
not to settle the question whether miracles actually have occurred or do occur,
but rather to formulate the most accurate philosophical view from which to
consider that question.  As Larry Bickford says, "You can't settle the issue
until you've settled how to settle the issue."
