RE COURSEWORK
A) i. Explain the term "miracle".
A miracle is a positively phenomenal, yet significant event, which requires the act of a supernatural being and is conducted for the purpose of conveying a message to an audience.
Today, different people have different ideas about what a miracle really is. According to the "Chambers 21st Century Dictionary", a miracle is:
An act or event that breaks the laws of nature, and is therefore thought to be caused by the intervention of God or another supernatural force.
This is a commendable definition for the term "miracle", because it takes the point of view of a religious person, as well as a atheist. However, this wouldn't be my own interpretation of a miracle, as I do not believe that it goes into a sufficient amount of depth for it to have true meaning for a Catholic like myself.
