Science and religion have been separated for so long that people find it hard to believe that they are related. For example, miracles do happen. It has been proven that in moments of great pain, stress, or emotion, the neural connections in your brain start firing away, and sometimes you can hit upon solutions to problems or remember obscure little facts. You can consider that a miracle. I don't see why it has to be sharply pushed into the realm of fantasy and/or religion.

Psychologists often do not give theology/philosophy the credit that it deserves. The two are much more related than we think.
