Question
 Hi Marco.  A while ago I asked you a question about miracles...my miracle was that despite heavy drug use and massive brain damage, I'm still functioning at the same level that I used to (I even took an IQ test to make sure).  The people at the hospital were amazed that I could even talk, and they treated me like I was stupid.
  My follow-up question is something that I hope you can address both as a scientist and as a man of faith: how is this possible?  Is it really a "miracle," or do you think there might be an explanation?  Do little miracles like mine happen everyday,  perhaps going unnoticed?

Thanks.

Joshua

Answer
Dear Joshua,

I cannot know whether your case is a miracle or not, but I firmly believe that everything in this world is under God's control and He often does "little miracles".

The Lord loves you infinitely and I would not be surprise if He had done a miralcle for you.

Your brother in Christ,

Marco

Expertise

I am a catholic physicist and I am married with four children. I can give a scientific proof of the existence of the soul. I am very interested in the following issues: faith and science, rational proof of the existence of God, christianity versus other religions, the Bible, protestantism versus catholicism, miracles. Probably you will find interesting my answers to questions such as: "How can I know that God exist?", "How can I know that catholicism is the true religion?", "Why does evil exist?", "Who created evil?", "Why does Hell exist?", "Why did Jesus have to suffer on the Cross?" , "If God knows everything, why did He create those souls who go to Hell?"

Experience

Theology, physics, biblical studies, catholic apologetics.

Publications
I am author of several articles on the most important scientific journals, such as Physical Review B and Physical Review Letters.

Education/Credentials
