The best way is context. Events contrary to what we know about the laws of nature are more likely miracles when there is a context that suggest a supernatural cause.
Also.....please continue to the next remark.

Never came back. That might be a miracle.It might as well be "i dont know", and then pulling "miracle" right out of your ass. Your method fails.
Too bad not enough churches fulla people (being full of it) are praying for all those starving kids in Africa. If i ever encounter such a scenario like you did, i can only hope its no miracle and there is no god who is so capricious as you suggest.

tl;dr: please look up "argument from ignorance", because thats all it is you are preaching here: "I dont know, therefore miracle/god/supernatural/pink unicorn".
You're very new here so you get a little slack from me. I am interested in discussions ONLY. You appear to be interested in ignorant, simplistic, abusive dialog of a 13-year-old where your goal is not to learn anything about my views but rather mock what little you understand to...what end?...make yourself feel smarter than you really are? I'll leave you off of block for now, so while I am don't think you have what it takes to have a real discussion, I might be wrong and you might change your mind as to your goals when you reply to something I say.
