Year 8 RE Lesson: Miracles – Why Are They Seen as Proof of God’s Existence?
School logos have been removed from the PPT.
This lesson introduces the concept of miracles and explores whether they prove God exists. Pupils learn the definition of a miracle, examples from the life of Jesus (including the feeding of the 5000), and objections raised by philosophers like David Hume. They consider alternative explanations such as coincidence or scientific causes. Activities include evaluating miracle claims, a newspaper writing task, comprehension questions, and extended writing weighing different views.
Learning aims:
Define what a miracle is and give examples
Explain why theists see miracles as evidence of God’s power and love
Evaluate objections to miracles as proof, including coincidence and lack of evidence
Form and justify your own opinion on whether miracles prove God exists
Includes PowerPoint slides, structured tasks, writing frames, and discussion questions ready to teach.
