Because it is their GOD given right to believe so -- just as it is your GOD given right ( ) not to believe so. GOD gave all of us free will to have faith and believe or to not have faith and be a non believer. You have the right to seek out a 'scientific answer' to some things that may happen just as Mig has the right to believe that some things happen because of 'devine intervention'.

You want to believe in fairies, then by all means believe in them. Pray to them and worship them for all I care. As long as you don't hurt others because of your beliefs than I don't have the right to mock you, make fun of you, or tell you that what you choose to put your faith in and believe in is wrong. By the same token if the "peeps" choose to believe in GOD, choose to put their faith in GOD and believe that he can perform miracles, as long as they are not hurting others because of their beliefs than no one has to the right to mock them, make fun of them or tell them that they are wrong because they believe in GOD.

People need to respect one another's religious and/ or non religious beliefs as long as those beliefs do not infringe upon, make fun of, mock or call for the hurting others.

Thank GOD for free will!
