He said to me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" And I answered, "O Lord GOD, You know."Some take this as a statement of faith in God's power. Ezekiel knew He could do whatever He wants, and that included bringing the bones to life. If God wants the otherwise-impossible to happen, it will; that's the definition of a miracle.
However, to me it always sounded like Ezekiel was dodging here. If he said yes, he'd be denying nature. But if he said no, he'd be denying God's power. So instead, he gave a non-answer, so that God could do whatever He wanted, without being wrong.
