I know that religion is a difficult situation to talk about. I know that there are many different faiths. People have many different views and feelings about religion and the higher power they follow. One I am interested in is views on miracles. Do you think there is a such thing as a miracle. I do. There are so many unexplained occurrences where someone is healed or helped. There are no scientific facts as to why this healing or assistance may have occurred. I have heard many different stories of people surviving when doctors were hopeless. THere was a story about a baby who drowned when she was a two. They revived her and she has been in a coma ever since. THey say that she has healing and miraculous powers. Supposedly the family lets people see her on certain days. You can pray with her. It has been said the the statues of mary and jesus sucrete and oily substance that cannot be identifies by vatican researchers. A family friend did a paper on her for college and she said that people are there in droves just to touch her for a quick second. Is she a miracle? are there miracles? I think that sometimes things are out of our control. We shouldnt doubt what we honestly dont know. There are many miracles in life. People are just looking for mountains to be moved when they should be looking at the little things. What's your take on this?

Yes. I do believe that some miracles do happen for alot of us. We must never give up on what we are working so hard for also. Miracles and dreams do come true for those of us who work hard for it.

Miracles are real, and we’ve had a couple of them experienced within our family.
There os a website which is completely devoted to telling all kinds of miraculous happenings at:

I believe in miracles.it doesn't have to be in religious context.waking up every morning safe and sound with your family is a miracle itself.going to the office and coming back home safe and sound is a miracles itself.with lots of muggers out there,it is a miracle you don't get hurt.miracles doesn't have to be a 'big' thing.

Even though I am not a religious person, I do believe that things tend to happen for a reason, and I do tend to believe that strange things can happen that no one can explain. I believe that if people are not looking for something, but they keep their eyes open, they end up finding a lot, and miracle may be one of the things they find.

Yes I believe in miracles but my perception with miracles is Miracles was not just existing there always a beginning. Like the miracle of fish and bread in the bible Jesus made a miracle with what have been there not just wanted to produce. He asked first if anyone bring food and then he made the fish and bread multiply.

I believe in miracles, however, I think that most people give too much credit to miracles. Everything happens for a reason, and in most instances, things happen because of what someone else has done. Miracles do happen, but far and few, most can be explained by the justice of mankind.

I feel the same way about miracles as I do about luck. I am thankful when a car doesn't hit me or there is a parking place in a crowded lot. I try to notice the daily help I get with ordinary happenings. There are many things we just don't know about but I do think your attention to good helps a situation. Often things that seem to be impossible just turn out well with that additional energy.

I don't believe miracles only God, know about it. Did you that why council of Vatican called it miracle. Miracle is a words that they can't understand. If you cannot understand about the situation arise, or like that healing that abruptly healed without any reason that is miracle. Not what the person healing you or the doctors itself. If you cannot understand about the theory of black hole...that is miracle?

well miracles can also be called coincidence. But for "paranormal" miracles i believe in them but haven't seen a genuine one.

i could not believe that there is existence with miracle. in fact,when something
happened, we feel not well and didn't how to deal with it, but if we make attempt
to change something that we could not hope to happened, so the result can appear
that people have not expected it and we found that miracle can happened. if people
could not do anything for this thing, did you think whether miracle would happen?
i think that people can con tinue to do this thing ,so we can see that miracle can happen.it is not occational.

Hi, I believe in miracles! After I watched Vivian Too's Feng-Shui program I bought the misticle knot. Vivian said that it helps to get us out of problems. She said to just rub the knot when you need something urgent like parking lot or rid of traffic, ect.
So since, I bought one I wanted to use it! I waited for the right moment, and one day I was desperately looking for a parking lot. I went round and round and round. Suddenly I remembered about the knot and I rub it while requesting for a parking lot.
Wow, it was amazing and miracle, there I found a vacant lot!

For me,I believe in miracles because thats how God make things possible. He only needs you to believe. God has a reason to do it and because he wants to make us feel that if you have faith in God, nothing is impossible =)

i come from a differnt cultural and religious background but when it comes to miracles we fall under only one catogory - the humans :)
I don't really believe in miracles, though every religion does speak about it and drives the credit to GOD. But there are a few things which happen due to our (human) efforts and still people believe it to be a miracle. I hope you have heard about Sai Baba (puttabarthi) - people say that staunch believers of sai bab actually get ashes (vibhuthi)on his portraits that these devotees keep in their prayer room!
Francly speaking i really don't agree to this and i personally believe that with mind power you can make thigs happen (which is what people term it as miracles)!
