A '''miracle''' is a perceptible interruption of the [[Science|laws of nature]], such that can be attempted to be explained by [[divine]] intervention, and is sometimes associated with a miracle-worker. Many folktales, religious [[texts]], and people claim various events they refer to as "miraculous". People in different [[culture]]s have substantially different definitions of the word "miracle". Even within a specific [[religion]] there is often more than one of the term. Sometimes the term "miracle" may refer to the action of a [[supernatural]] [[being]] that is not a god. Thus, the term "divine intervention", by contrast, would refer specifically to the direct involvement of a [[deity]]. | A '''miracle''' is a perceptible interruption of the [[Science|laws of nature]], such that can be attempted to be explained by [[divine]] intervention, and is sometimes associated with a miracle-worker.
