Miracle Once in a Year or Three Times
One year is 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds, which means 31,556,926 seconds, namely about 31.5 million seconds.
When playing 9 dice all together, the probability that all the dice show 6 on their upper surfaces is one of 10 millions. So, if this game is played every second in a year (for example, by using a computer), the case that all the 9 dice show 6 comes true three times in the year.
[6], [6], [6], [6], [6], [6], [6], [6], [6]
You may think that it is a miracle that nine dice thrown all together at the same time show 6 on their upper surfaces. But it could surely occur three times in a year, if the dice were thrown every second all through the year.
And most importantly, we cannot still say when it will happen. However, the God or Christ Jesus must know when it happens or make it happen without changing the probability or the laws of the nature.
If a mountain can move from here to there in the case that 9 specific geological conditions are met, each feasibility of which is one out of six (1/6), and change in the 9 conditions occurs every year, the mountain should move once in 10 million years and move three times in 31.5 million years.
And most importantly, Christ Jesus virtually said that we could make the 9 conditions met if we had faith, and the mountain would be moved (without breaking the law of the nature).
Although it is still unknown and mysterious how faith, namely spiritual power or energy, should work on geological conditions, it must work, according to the God or Christ Jesus.
In this context, we should not give up faith and hope, since a miracle could surely occur once in a year or three times, in my interpretation of the words of Christ Jesus.
For example, an African man became a US President only about 45 years after the era of JFK, and a New York real-estate man and comedian became a US President about 35 years after the era of Ronald Reagan.
