My biggest problem with miracles is the constant misuse of the word itself.  'It's a miracle I wasn't killed in that car crash' or 'I got such a good deal on this new furniture...it was a miracle'.

As far as I know, no one has defined 'miracle' better than Hume ('a transgression of a law of nature by a particular volition of the Deity, or by the interposition of some invisible agent'), and he pretty much destroyed the idea that they happen.
