OK so what's the miracle? That it was a nice, sunny day? That there wasn't a lot of traffic? That I didn't get sick because some fuckwad couldn't hold a camera still?
Solar halos and lunar halos are not miracles, they're quite commonplace.
This just goes to show that Christians are watering down the definition of the word "miracle" to mean just about anything so that the word doesn't really have much meaning any more. The book definition of "miracle" is something like "an event which transcends the laws of science; an event which should be impossible to occur." The Christian definition of the word "miracle" goes something like this: "Any event we can point to in order to reaffirm our faith."

Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
