Personally, I believe in miracles. Life in itself is a miracle for me. All one has to do is simply sit down and observe things around them. I've seen things happen for which there was no explanation. Others may believe it was pure chance but I believe God in his infinite wisdom has a reason for everything in this life.

Most magic is explainable using sciences, so magic seems
to be the most attached to free will. Therefore, magic would
be my vote.
However, if this question is intended to mean magic as
an unpredictable entity then my reasoning is as follows:
Magic would be my least likely belief because it must
make a human seem more than human.
Between miracle and luck, both are unpredictable to
the human experiencing them, but both can be said
to be predictable by God. In this light, perhaps a miracle
implies more direct involvement from divine intervention.
In my opinion, luck is pessimistic in both cases of good
luck and bad luck because it implies lack of free will
and knowledge to respond based on facts. Therefore,
miracle would be the most ideal choice in this set
of circumstances.

With myself I believe in miracle more than anything as there have been a lot of little miracles in my life in the last few years. I believe we make our own luck and that magic is just another form of manifesting our thoughts and dreams.

Have to say I have been awfully lucky a whole lot of times in life and not sure why I deserve it? Guess it is just the way it is, LOL So I guess I believe in luck. I believe in love too, and magic and miracles so all three really.

None of the above! Magic and miracles are simply names for things we don't understand. Luck is merely acting appropriately in given circumstances, persisting with an appropriate opportunity, or being somewhere else when that's the best place to be. So it's chance, accidentally avoided or purposefully grasped. And chance is what made and makes the universe and everything in it, I reckon. Ain't it wunnerful! But I do love magical tales. There's usually a reality base in 'em.

Magic. It is belief in yourself and what you can do. Luck is random and miracles may not be random, but is just as out of our control and especially rare. It comes down to believing in yourself or not. For luck and miracles you need faith. Interesting that faith is really just lack of faith in yourself.

You asked what we'd RATHER believe in. Right? MAGIC for me! As far as I'm concerned, it's as "real" as luck or miracles & lots more fun!

i would rather believe in a miracle, although not in the religious sense.
it would be nice to see that world is capable of love and understanding among all things, countries, orientations, religions etc.
but that would be a miracle because of history, really.
