Technically, a miracle is defined in the dictionary as:
Quote:an effect or extraordinary event in the physical world that surpasses all known human or natural powers and is ascribed to a supernatural cause.Such a term ought to be reserved for what can't possibly be explained by natural phenomena and thus allows only for attribution to divine intervention. However, Islamo-Christians need to water that word down to match the evidently diminished power of their god these days, so that surviving a flash flood, beating cancer into remission or seeing Jesus on a piece of toast will qualify.
