Steven Spielberg could have made all of the miracles APPEAR but they would not have been there physically rather they would be holographic projections.<br>
<br>Again, I am not defeintely saying that they WERE holograms, it's just you cannot PROVE that had the Rambam had access to this technology that he would have said otherwise. <<<br clear="all"></div>
</div><div>If the Rambam were willing to say that it was just a vision but it didn't really happen - he didn't need recourse to hologram technology. He could have said that Moshe/Aharon and Eliyahu caused all present to hallucinate these occurences and be convinced of their reality, which is not a radical suspension of nature. <br>

Then HE could give him a graphic VISION of of say a donkey speaking w/o altering the bri'as. I cannot say for sure that Rambam would go for this, but it is my impression that his would fit the Rambam's modle better than say a hallucination.<br>
<br>After all a hologram is as real as a telgeram, but it is ONLY a story [fiction] and not tangible fact. The point? it is a powerful method of commmunicating a message from the Al-Mighty a dwould not tamper with Teva. Of course in 200 years of more tehcnology there might be even superior models such as telepathy etc. This is only a model or an illustratoin I am not saying HKBH used holograms. I AM saying that if I were a Talmid of the Rambam and shot forth into the present via time mahcine to TODAY this would make a lot of sense... <br clear="all">
