I would like to find out if maybe there is such a thing as miracles. Are there any quantifiable examples of miracles?

If you want me to define what a miracle is I mean something happening that's actually impossible but still happened anyway


maybe some examples to consider:

the existence of reality *(either created out of nothing or had no beginning - entropy might make both of these impossible)

language - it still works even though we have no access to the intention of meaning behind word choices of the speaker

please don't focus too much on my examples I would like to see some cool links to possible miracles and stuff like that!

So far every time a statue cries blood or someone starts bleeding from their hands or anything that looks like a miracle, it's been debunked. After a while you start to see a pattern.

I'm not asking about those kind of religiousy type ones though I mean just like well this guy makes a good point

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
