I don't believe in either, I believe in Karma. I think by doing good you create your own miracles without even knowing about it.

Coincidence. There is no evidence of miracles, I have never been presented with an event that could have not been a coincidence. We notice unusual coincidences because they are precisely that - unusual - however they are not miracles (suspension of laws of the natural universe), they are simply things that do not happen regularly.

I do not believe that there is such as thing as mere coincidence, I think that everything happens for a reason and is somehow connected. Sometimes we are not viewing the whole tapestry and therefore cannot see the connections. I am not sure if that makes them miracles or just part of a grand plan - design.
I had a bio teacher who used to say, "Isn't it wonderful how everything fits together so nicely." Of course, she was a nun, so she may have been seeing things as miracles.

There are no such things as coincidences. Everything has a purpose. And miracles happen all around us."A single mom who's working two jobs, and still finds time to take her son to soccer practice, that's a miracle. A teenager who says "no" to drugs and "yes" to an education, that's a miracle"

I don't think it can be argued that there is no such thing as coincidence. It is by definition a low-probability or chance occurrence of two unrelated (though seemingly related) events that have no causal relationship. Humans are pattern-seeking beings and tend to find meaning in things like this when there really is none. Coincidences happen. This can not be argued, therefore it is not something that needs to be believed. Miracles do require belief.

I believe in the miracle of coincidence. Coincidence is much more than just a coincidence. It is simultaneousness.

I believe in Synchronicity, rather than coincidence.
I believe what we call "miracles" happen, but because we aren't the recipients of all knowledge, we lack the understanding to know why.

YES.... DEFINITELY.... coincidence.... miracles... synchronicity... it happens all the time. And yes, it all happens for a reason.
The question is are we paying attention and can we put it together? Like minded people cross paths all the time, and they (we) need to pay attention as usually what we need or are looking for will be given to us, or the chance will be there for us to attain the knowledge or meet the folks we need to meet if we just catch on... be aware... wake up...
Miracles, yes... look at us! Look at the amazing thing people have accomplished. Look at the amazing ability we have to be compassionate, to give... laugh, love. Look at the earth, the sky, a bird in flight... all miracles...
Then there is all of it put together... your broke, out of work, tired and depressed.... you stop for a cup of coffee, and its great cup of coffee (miracle), and run into an old friend (coincidence) who just stopped for a quick coffee. And guess what... they are opening up a business and desperately need someone with your skills... Miracle! Pay attention to what is happening around you! Pay attention to who is around you!

Yes. I have encountered quite a few coincidences and one miracle which reinforced my belief in them. There are many things which our mind is unable to explain and things happening for no rhime or reason over which we have no control whatsoever can be termed so. And I am neither arrogant nor gullible enough to question them...

Miracles are those ways of nature we still don't understand. Coincidence is one of them.
