Sorry-I should have defined miracles, as the word has multiple
uses. In the sense of God's involvement, I agree that everything is
miraculous in this sense. However, I was referring to "gaps"-things that,
as far as we know, are violations of natural laws [somewhat circularly
defined as "the usual ways in which God runs the world"].
