Definitions for "Miracles"
mighty acts of God that cannot be explained through the known laws of nature.
Miracles is a book by Christian apologist C. S. Lewis. In it, Lewis makes the case for miracles by first explaining how there must be something more than nature or "the whole show" and then detailing why that something more is a benevolent being and why it is likely that he would intervene with nature after creating it.
Miracles was an American drama television series starring Skeet Ulrich and Angus Macfadyen as part of a team investigating miracles, trying to determine their authenticity. Paul Callan (Ulrich) was a priest who had previously performed these duties on behalf of the Vatican, only to leave in frustration when he discovered that the Vatican was not really interested in confirming their reports on genuine miracles; during most of the show, their investigations were on behalf of Alva Keel's (Macfadyen) business, which operated much like a detective agency. Central to the show was the mysteriously recurring message "GODISNOWHERE" which at different points in the show was interpreted as either "God is nowhere" or "God is now here."

one of the four parerga, referring to a presumed supernatural intervention in the 'empirical' world. Kant does not rule out this possibility, but claims such external 'experiences' of the impossible must be regarded as happening either almost never or else all the time.
Like other manifestations of Spirit, should only be invoked in pursuit of serious, ethical goals and when a conventional approach is not likely to give the desired result: not for trivial or egoic purposes, and certainly not as party tricks or showing off.
