Whatever happens apparently without any known cause or a cause that looks totally illogical, is a miracle. However, the result needs to be something positive or desirable for us to name such unexplained events as miracles.

"An event that appears so inexplicable by the laws of nature, that it is held to be supernatural in origin or an act of God."
"A person, thing or event that excites admiring awe."
"An act beyond human power, an impossibility."
It is logical that greater the impossibility, greater the miracle. For example, should a person expire before our very eyes and is certified dead by a qualiified medical man, yet later on a mystic or a saint commands the corpse to 'arise!', and to everybody's astonishment the person gets up and walks away , we would label that as a miracle. But if the resurrection of the dead took place after the corpse had been in the mortuary for three days, then we would acclaim this as a greater miracle. And if the dead was made to arise from the grave, decades or centuries after the body had decomposed and rotted away, then in that case we would label it the greatest miracle of them all!

A miracle is a seredipitous event without any scientific explanation.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle
This will more than answer all your questions about miracles...what they are, philisophical views, how different faiths consider them to be, etc etc.
I hope the link activates for you because it is sooo worthwhile. Anway, I will spend some time there myself as you have given me something to ponder.

Any thing which is beyond our current experience and known logic is Miracle.

G'day Roka,
Thank you for your question.
A miracle is something the laws of nature can't explain and can only have a supernatural origin.
Regards

Events that happen in the countryside, around countrypeople, who never have cameras, that involve divine intervention, and sometimes UFO reporting. Also detailed in folk stories. See "Magic" and the like.
