Faith vs. Science? Dr. Siegel Shows We Need Both

Fox News senior medical analyst Dr. Marc Siegel is out with a new book called The Miracles Among Us, a plainly patriotic reminder that faith still matters in our hospitals and our lives. The book, released through Fox News Books, argues that God’s hand often shows up in moments where science alone falls short, and that message is exactly what millions of Americans are craving right now. This is the kind of common-sense, spiritually grounded reporting that the mainstream media refuses to cover because it doesn’t fit their secular narrative.

Siegel, a practicing internist and clinical professor, refuses the false choice between being a scientist and being a person of faith, and he lays out what he calls “soft miracles” — a string of coincidences, intuition, and divine timing that lead to healing. He leans on decades of frontline experience to show that modern medicine and prayer aren’t enemies; they’re partners when doctors have the humility to recognize forces beyond their instruments. Conservatives should applaud a physician who dares to restore wonder to medicine rather than bowing to scientism and arrogance.

The stories Siegel collects are striking and unmistakable: the Baier family’s long fight with congenital heart disease, Damar Hamlin’s miraculous survival, a missionary guided to life-saving surgery by a foreign-language video, and a pharmacist’s dream that saved a life in Ethiopia. These aren’t tabloids; they are the kinds of real-life accounts that expose how often providence intersects with human courage and skill. Instead of scoffing, responsible journalists and doctors should study these cases and ask why so many breakthroughs arrive clothed in the language of faith.

Importantly, Siegel doesn’t just tell feel-good stories; he challenges his medical colleagues to meet patients where they are and to respect spiritual beliefs as part of comprehensive care. He points out that a large share of physicians hold religious beliefs and that acknowledging a patient’s faith — even praying with them — can be an act of compassion, not malpractice. In an age when the cultural left insists that faith is a private relic to be excised from public life, Siegel’s position is refreshingly humane and medically sensible.

That this book comes from Fox News Books is no accident; the imprint has become a home for voices that champion American resilience, faith, and common-sense solutions. While coastal elites and liberal institutions continue to marginalize religion and traditional values, conservative platforms are publishing work that restores dignity to belief and highlights real-world results. If you want to rebuild a culture that values both competence and conscience, support authors and publishers who aren’t afraid to speak plainly about God’s role in healing.

Hardworking Americans deserve a medicine that treats the whole person — body, mind, and soul — and Dr. Siegel’s book is a clarion call to reclaim that humane approach. Read it as a reminder that hope, prayer, and professional skill together save lives, and don’t let the smug secularists tell you that faith is a relic of the past. We should be proud that voices on the right are bringing these stories forward, reminding the country that miracles still happen among us.
