Robin Michaels asked Mark Henrikson:

This question contains spoilers… (view spoiler)

Mark Henrikson Thanks for the question Robin!

I intentionally left that situation open to interpretation for the reader. If you think it was a miracle, great. If you think it was technology, that works too. That entire Jesus story line I tried to leave open so that people on either side of the theological spectrum could get what they wanted out of it, and hopefully also see what others on the opposite end might think of the topic. Particularly the discussion between the doctor and Hastelloy about the lineage of the Bible and its many linguistic interpretations.

From a personal perspective, I am hopeful that there is more to our existence than some random neurons firing from chemical reactions in our brain. I'm also a believe what I see kind of guy so I have a hard time taking something on blind faith. In a way, the books really reflect my own personal views on faith by leaving it open to interpretation because I am also conflicted by the subject.
