"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

What definition do you use? I use the Biblical one. A completely natural event, in which a believer chooses to "see the hand of god operating". There are NO *events* that are "miraculous". Some observed events have a low probability. Very (extremely) highly (individually) improbable events happen all the time. You can easily make one with a probability of 1/googleplex happen right now. Go get 55 pairs of dice. Toss them on your desk. You know what the probability of the "miracle" you just caused is ? Faith is a willing suspension of rationality. Nothing more.
