You need God to be magic and for miracles to be unexplainable God magic in order for your anti God arguments to work. So you try and correct me when I try and show you God is not a God of magic and mystery.

here's a few more definitions to expound your very narrow world view.
a highly improbable or extraordinary event, development, or accomplishment that brings very welcome consequences.
"it was a miracle that more people hadn't been killed or injured"
an amazing product or achievement, or an outstanding example of something.
"a machine which was a miracle of design"
Uhm..... you do realize you're conflating how the meanings are different given the different contexts of the sentences/examples you are using?
That people attribute significance to statistical outlyers has always been the case.
I am now confused as to what you, Drich, think/believe a "Miracle" might be/is?
A miracle is simply the intervention of God in our everyday life, but again God does not have to use magic to do this... which is what you and the OP do not seem to understand. Common thing can be considered miraculous if we know this everyday thing would not have happened without Gods help.. because we know where our limits are and what the limits people put on us are.
Let look at the OP.. this woman may know she would not be able to afford or in any other way pay for this service, yet a miraculous chain of events took place to put here in front of people she would never have access too and also may understand that having her sibling in the data base of possible dna cross matches was rare as well. yet maybe for this person 100 long shots all came together using modern common every day technology to put these people back together.
yet all a small minded hater can see is modern tech working like it is supposed to. Completely oblivious to anything else simply because to this low minded person God magic is the only proper use of the word.
How do people like this pretend to think they are smarter than grateful people of faith?
