Becker said he began to sense fate aligning, answering each "crisis" with a "miracle" event that turned matches in his favor.

From the 4th century on there are accounts of miracles – events contrary to the laws of nature – being credited to saints to whom believers prayed.

"Miracles — events that science wasn't able to explain — were the church's answer to the scientific mindset," he said.

Ultimately the acceptance of miracles — events where the laws of nature apparently break down — are one example of a "God of the Gaps" argument that ultimately ends up building tensions between science and religion.

Sometimes this is understood in the sense that miracles are events which are not explainable by means of the laws of nature or even incompatible with these laws.

A miracle is an event that exceeds the productive power of nature, and a religiously significant miracle is a detectable miracle that has a supernatural cause.

Variations on this include the idea that a miracle is an event that would have happened only given the intervention of an agent not wholly bound by nature (Larmer 1988: 9) and that a miracle is an event that would have happened only if there were a violation of the causal closure of the physical world.

With the notion of "natural law" thus redefined, the "violation" definition becomes virtually equivalent to the earlier definition of a miracle as an event that exceeds the productive power of nature.

We might therefore try to tighten the definition by saying that a miracle is an event that exceeds the productive power of nature (St. Thomas Aquinas, SCG 3.103; ST 1.110, art. 4), where "nature" is construed broadly enough to include ourselves and any other creatures substantially like ourselves.
