While analyzing the definition of the miracle as an “extraordinary event”, I am going to justify the proposition that the miracle as an “extraordinary event” is understood in two ways: (1) as a supernatural event and (2) as an event inexplicable by science. Then I will seek to show that in the case (1) we can talk about a supernatural event as a miraculous one, only when we mean the fact that it

And with respect to the case (2) I suggest the attitude that talking about the scientific inexplicability of a miraculous event doesn’t make sense, because it results from understanding the miracle as a violation of the laws of nature and that cannot be proven (and there is no need to do so). Yet, we can claim that a miraculous event is the one which must be inexplicable from the scientific viewpoint at the very moment it takes place.
