This definition of a miracle also seems to make the the whole "miracle" bit suspiciously close to a naked appeal to ignorance. Do we have any examples that might help us further explore the subject? Would something like plant growth hormones, inhibitors, and behavior (or any other mystery of botany - just as one area of interest) be a miracle then? Similarly....wouldn't this suggest that anything we can't explain is miraculous? Surely this can't be the case...Well, I've never actually seen any miracles in my lifetime, so I can't give any examples.
(important, to me at least, since without an example of anything like this how can we say that this is what a miracle actually is?)
A lot of things may appear mysterious and amazing to us at first, but they can be explained by science, thus they are not miracles.
