Do you believe in miracles?

We have a survivor bias, had we not survived whatever close call occurred we would not be around to talk about miracles being real. There is an entire chorus of people who did not survive their close call with death, unfortunately they are not represented.
I guess you could call it luck or you could call it a miracle. I was in a parking lot and I did see the driver but when I seen him hr was all the way at the entrance. Before I knew it I heard tires screeching and then next thing I knew I was up in the air and my phone /ipod flew out of my hand. I landed on the ground on my but and my hands at my side. The driver sat there dumbfounded for a good 3 minutes. When he finally realized he hit me , he got out of the car and helped me up... he never should have did that but anyways . I got up and walked home. A week later cops were showing up at my parents house . I decided not to press charges because I was just so thankful to be alive. Also the adrenaline stopped me from feeling any pain until I got home. Thats when it hit me like a big yellow school bus..
I used to believe in magic when I was a kid. And I even though that the shell game was legit until my grandma said to me- watch the Gypsy's hands and I saw him palming the ball. The death of innocence!! No, I don't believe in miracles. Everything can be explained rationally. And the things we can't explain are due to our insufficient knowledge.
Perfectly said.
A miracle by its truest definition is something in which only a higher power could be responsible for.
To accept that, then it would be logical to believe a higher power is responsible for much of the terrible tragedies that occur every day.
Where was the miracle when those two innocent children were killed in Vaughan a few days ago? The idiot driver could have lost control of the car at a different point and hit a tree or parked car but instead hit two kids.
if one person survives a plane crash that kills 200 others, it’s a “miracle” for the survivor but the others were “unlucky”.
As Hung Sowel said, miracles only exist from the perspective of those who got the good end of random luck.
I love these secret folks. I know one, she is also an anti vaccer. She truly believes if you ask the universe for something you will get it. Someone gave her a car she really wanted [and of course it couldn't be that everyone knows she is a fan girl, no... the universe]
I guess kids dying of cancer in hospitals or starving to death in famines just didn't want it bad enough.

Not a doctor or a philosopher (or much of one) either we see. Life's a bitch and then you die...
