On the Joan of Arc Problem and the Definition of God

It’s a perfectly fair question. If Joan of Arc causes you to believe in miracles–that is, paranormal events with no other plausible explanation–how does that fit in with a universal and unchanging God?

Joan believed the spirits who spoke to her were saints, not God. The Chinese, on the other hand, believe their ancestors intervene in their lives on a regular basis. In other words, there is a realm of unseen spirits that is responsible for miracles, not the universal and unchanging God.

I’m in the Chinese camp. Why? Because of personal experience. I will describe some of it in my next metaphysical post.
