If something happens, it's by definition possible for it to happen.

but what about stuff that, whilst it has happened and is by definition possible, defies all current knowledge etc

You can describe such things as miraculous if you like. It's probably not going to catch on because people use the alternate definition of "sudden, seemingly benevolent random or coincidental events" and that has a bit of a monopoly. It's also a definition that renders all "miracles" singular events because any repetition no longer defies current knowledge etc.
