Default Re: Definition of \"refuting a specific miracle\"

[ QUOTE ]
there exists an explanation that follows the laws of science. Put another way, it can be duplicated without resorting to godlike intervention.

Well although I am not one of them, there are plenty of the more moderate christians/muslims who see God acting through coincidence. They look for rational explanations for the parting of the red sea for example but see the miracle in the timing.

If I stood there praying in front of a pyre of wood while you look on (previously agreeing that this was to show you God exists), and a bolt of lighting hits the pyre and ignites it, would this be a miracle? (assuming we prove no cheating). I imagine so.
but "there exists an explanation that follows the laws of science."
A miracle can be found in the highly improbable yet physically possible.
