   What is a miracle if it is not explicable by natural causes?

   • A miracle (from the Latin mirari, to wonder), at a first and very rough approximation, is an event that is not explicable by natural causes alone. A reported miracle excites wonder because it appears to require, as its cause, something beyond the reach of human action and natural causes.

   Can a miracle happen?

   • The will of God is identical with the laws of nature. A miracle is a violation of the laws of nature. Necessarily, God’s will is inviolable. Therefore, Miracles cannot happen.

   Are miracles impossible?

   • Insofar as the definition of “miracle” in question is one that involves divine agency, any argument that demonstrated the non-existence of God would be eo ipso a demonstration that miracles do not take place; and an argument that demonstrated that the existence of God is impossible would demonstrate that miracles are likewise impossible.

   Without a realist view of miracles, a Christian couldn’t believe that that miracle really happened. Anti-realism has a point, however, that miracles, being the actions of God, are beyond our understanding and thus we cannot judge whether they are real or not and should instead focus on their subjective meaning.
