WHAT DOES MIRACLE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

miracle

Miracle

A miracle is an event not ascribable to human power or the laws of nature and consequently attributed to a supernatural, especially divine, agency. Such an event may be attributed to a miracle worker, saint, or faith based leader. A miracle is when a being with supernatural powers, such as a god, works with the laws of nature to perform what are miracles. Theologians say that, with divine providence, theistic gods regularly work through created nature yet are free to work without, above, or against it as well. The word "miracle" is often used to characterise any beneficial event that is statistically unlikely but not contrary to the laws of nature, such as surviving a natural disaster, or simply a "wonderful" occurrence, regardless of likelihood, such as a birth. Other miracles might be: survival of an illness diagnosed as terminal, escaping a life-threatening situation or 'beating the odds'. Some coincidences may be seen as miracles.

Definition of miracle in the English dictionary

The first definition of miracle in the dictionary is an event that is contrary to the established laws of nature and attributed to a supernatural cause. Other definition of miracle is any amazing or wonderful event. Miracle is also a person or thing that is a marvellous example of something.
