What are your thoughts on miracles, whether large-scale ones like the events of Fatima, or "personal" miracles like those listed on sites like these, http://www1.cbn.com/700club/episodes/all...ng-stories ....Lies? Coincidences? Exaggerations?


Personally the only miracles I believe in are the ones in which one receives inspiration or insight which is not constructed deductively.  We can definitely receive such psychic gifts which are beyond our conscious powers to reliably manufacture.  I think those have a miraculous quality, but nothing to do with anything supernatural.  It is just the 'inter-jective' kicking in extra benefits to our subjective experience.  Nothing objective about those miracles, but I still enjoy getting them.  (All you Spock-wannabes ain't getting any.)
