** "Miracles" resulted in some people lumping ICP in with creationists, even though the song's about seeing and experiencing things for the first time through the eyes of a child and was written with the rappers' own kids in mind (who appear in the music video wearing their respective daddies' facepaint styles). The lines about how scientists answering those questions are liars probably had something to do with it.
