I'm insectaphobic.
I'm arachnophobic.
I am scared shitless by the mere THOUGHT of watching the video.
I'm going to have nightmares.
And I didn't watch anything yet.
Why you so scary, nature?! WHYYYYY!?!?
*breaks down and cries*

Wow, people. Apparently none of you have ever been forced to watch a human female give birth.
That shit will give you nightmares lol.
Also, this one is cooler

That's how I always want to give birth! Lying on your back, vagina up in the air, spitting out a few dozen little white children that are rapidly climbing all over you while you're still pushing some more out. That's the classy way to do things.
Anways, I've seen worse. It's not near the "Kill it with fire" level of things anyway.
Also, on the "miracle of birth" thing, I always thought that miracle meant something along of the lines of "something brilliant that was nigh on impossible". Birth is not that (unless of course there are extenuating circumstances). I'm not saying birth isn't a wonderful thing, but miracle it is not.

There are several ways to see the issue and it depends on what you mean with miracle:TestECull said:
Biological viewpoint: It's not a miracle because it is unexplainable or anything, but exactly because we know how it works it is so fascinating. A single cell with a single set of chromosomes has all the information and mechanisms to produce a huge complex being with numerous different cells which all have distinct functions (except stem cells and so on but you get my point) So while it is not technically a miracle it induces the same awe as a miracle and so people call it a miracle.
Religious viewpoint: Are you really surprised that religious people think it is a miracle? They make out of everything a miracle since it was all created by god, except the bad stuff, that is free will and so on but since birth is good -> thank god for this miracle and ignore the fact that it is an incredibly painful, dangerous and unreliable process causing many innocent unborns and babies to die.
Furthermore it comes in handy to argue against abortion because religious people call miracles somewhat analogous to god's gifts. Rick Santorum and many others argue that it is immoral to abort even after rape because the baby is god's gift. Since we know how babies are produced it of course then also means that the rape was god's gift but I fear that this will get off topic but what I was trying to say is that declaring stuff as god's miracles gives you a wide range of arguments you can use in debates and that is one motivation to call birth a miracle.
