A miracle is something God did that completely defied the laws on nature. It is not just something unusual, special or something that can't be explained. Miracles set aside the laws of nature. It is not even God's working within the realms of nature. (Someone ill getting well over a period of time, etc.)
In the Bible, when a person is healed by miracle, they did not just begin to get better from that point. They were instantly made well of their sickness or deformity. This was something that could be observed.
Instead of healing things that can't bee seen (head aches, back aches, etc.), Bible miracles instantly healed things that could be observed. (An adult who was known to be blind from birth, a withered hand, someone that had been dead for three days, etc.)
This was because, the purpose of Bible miracles were to confirm the word spoken until the writing of the Bible was complete. Today, to confirm if someone is speaking God's word, we do not need miracles. We can compare their word to the scriptures.

There are two occurrences that have never nor will ever occur. They are miracles and super natural. Now for my explanation of both.
An anthropologist and team are in the Amazon area. They find a tribe unknown to modern man. They show them a TV show previously taped. The natives see miniature people performing in a very small box. They want to know how they got in there? How were they alive and so small? Later they see themselves inside the box. Have they been shrunk? Are they still alive. HAVE THEY SEEN A MIRACLE? IS THIS THE SUPERNATURAL? Or is this a natural occurrence the natives have yet to learn and understand? Quantum physicists have proved a particle can go from point 'A' to point 'B' without leaving point 'A' nor traveling between point 'A' and point 'B'. Is this a miracle? Is this supernatural? Or is it a natural occurrence we don't yet understand? The bible writers understood less than we do and they wrote what they thought was happening but always slanting it in the direction of their misguided ideas about GOD and the world.

miracle is a state where the law of nature is break by the supernatural power of God: a situation where the impossible becomes possible

A miracle issomething that couldn't possibly happen but does. That means that 99.9999% of things fundamentalists call miracles aren't

Seriously in it's own way, everything is a miracle!!! I don't need a book to define that to me.

in the bible, any sort of unnatural or magical thing is a miracle if performed by god, or one of his, erm... representatives (moses, jesus, bushes that speak). if not done by god, it's not a miracle, but, "tricks" (ie, the scene in exodus where moses has a magical battle with pharaoh's magicians - the snakes that they turn their staves into are, "tricks"; the snake that moses turns HIS staff into is a miracle).

Any magic trick that the Christians cannot explain.
If Houdini had been alive 2000 years ago, Christians would have a different messiah.

a miracle is something only God can do,there's no other explanation.like if a car was about to hit you and it stopped a half and inch before it hit you.

Something that is recognized by the people who see it as God's intervention.
