Interesting. So what is your definition of a miracle? Is it purely dependent on its perception? Maybe a miracle is just an event that induces faith in God because it breaks natural law as it is commonly understood. Thus, a miracle in one time is not a miracle in another.

A rather simple definition, it is. But I think a lot of folks think of miracles as larger events occurring - a parting of the Red Sea kind of big. They don't have to be that big.

I don't think it destroys the usefulness of the word, as a miracle to me doesn't necessarily need to be a miracle to you. I believe miracles are more personal than mysterious. I hope that makes sense.
