How many in here have experienced a true miracle, one that the doctors can't explain?
Are there any physicians on the site that would like to add their feedback to this?

I really hope no one creates a fake profile. Any physician should be able to verify themselves easily with their credentials either publicly or privately that includes their contact information.

Of course, would not want it any other way, now would you? What purpose would that serve, you cannot serve the truth with a lie.

When my drive in theater was X rated, we used to run movies from Miracle Films. Their slogan was, "If it's a great picture, it's a Miracle"

My father lived 91 years. The doctors couldn't explain why because medically he should have been dead dozens of times.

Absolutely! The universe is a miracle. The planets revolvong around the sun are miraculous to me. The rising and falling of the tides, the phases of the moon...these things are all miracles and at the same time, mundane. No need for anything supernatural. The natural is quite miraculous.

Miracles are the unexplainable.. and happenstance.. sometimes things just HAPPEN no rhyme or reason and whats funny is.. they happen to EVERYONE.. not just those SAVED or of any certain religion . .they happen to EVERYONE.. Everyone can witness them and pray for a miraculous outcome ..whether its sending prayers to Jesus, God Buddah Yahweh The spirit of the tree in your backyard.. the essence is the same positive energies wished upon another .. to me Miracles is a conglomeration of these positive energies into a positive outcome .. and sometimes random miracles do occur.. extra positive energies flowing round

Yanno, I've been thinking that whenever I get back to Connecticut, I should go visit my neurologist and internist. I still laugh at my reaction when they suggested that it was time for me to think about using a cane...and how my internest sadly predicted that I needed to consider the reality that I'd probably be in a wheelchair by the time I was 60. 
"Miracle"? Yep, if one tends to think that way. Personally I attribute it to downright stubborness...and my doc's brilliant assessment of my personality, knowing full well that I'd be damned if I'd ever give in to using a cane or chair. Just too inconvenient and "non-esthetic" for my chosen lifestyle and "sense of self".

I have a "close relative"  who reached the age of 40 and said "NOW what?  " -- it wasn't supposed to happen that way, medically...that was 13 years ago and she's still hangin' in there -- even checked out new cars last weekend.

I had an uncle who had lung disease. During the later stages of the disease, he had a severe heart attack. His heart was really nothing more than threads of tissue. And while on life support, his doctor sadly told the family if he made it, it would be a miracle. He lived another two years. The doctors continually saying they didn't know how his heart was beating, w/ the shape it was in.
There's a book called Small Miracles. It says, in a nutshell, that miracles happen every day, all around us. That God doesn't part the seas or make water into wine, but if you pay attention, there are miracles.

Why do christians and other religious people always associate unexplained happenings with miracles of god? Where is the proof that a god had anything to do with it?
I would have no problem accepting a truly documented miracle that proved that god's intervention caused it to happen.
We have been discussing miracles for three years now anf no one has provided any documented miracle that can be traced to god's hand.
Peace

Any "gap" in science, the Christian jumps into it and calls it a miracle.
Thankfully through out time science have been closing the gaps. Hence why many of our great scientists explaining these so called miracles have been persecuted by the Christian State.
Miracle gaps explained by science threatens the very existence of christianity for all its falseness.

The book says that even in the times of so called "Miracles" a lot was lost in translation. That wording would lead you to believe that things happened in ways that weren't likely.
I'd describe the book as, basically, lots of nice synchronicities.
As far as modern day miracles, I have to think God had something to do with the incorrupt bodies of saints. i.e. Bernadette. There's no explanation why she didn't decompose as a normal corpse did.

Actually there are many explanations. There are also many "so-called" mummy corpses preserved for varying scientific reasons.
These arent unique to any religions at all.

Yes, It's documented to have happened not only this one time, not only St. Bernadette. I was siting her as an example. And saying it's what I consider a miracle, as it's unexplained by medicine. Many years after her death, her body is as intact as when she died, save for a smidgen of mold on her. Her internal organs remained soft. The bloat and rot didn't happen. No decay of the flesh.
Do I know of anyone other than the Saints that are incorrupt? No. I have no idea who else's corpse has been unexplainably undecayed.

It seems to me that you are again linking something unknown to a miracle of god.
Unless a scientific study were to be conducted about "the incorrupt bodies of saints" it is impossible to label them as miracles.
Has the church kept records about the bodies it exhumed that were and were not "incorrupt" so that a scientific study of random exhumed bodies can be conducted to compare results? It seems to me that a study of this type could never happen since family consent would be required.
The next question would be how many of these "incorrupt saints" were actually considered saints before the bodies were exhumed? Did the church automatically consider any "incorrupt body" exhumed to be that of a saint?
Seems that all the articles I've read fail to answer these questions.
I'm not saying that these things cannot be miracles, I'm saying that there are too many unanswered questions related to the subject.
Has any "incorrupt body" been found that is not a saint? Would the church admit it if there were a few?
Peace

I think all 3 of my children are miracles, but my youngest more so. She was given 3 months to live and she is 11 years old now. I have always put that to her fighting spirit, and, well-my own....
