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

Humanity are not arbiters of reality and we do not really create existence just by viewing it.

Certain astrophysical events or even events such as life's creation currently defy our understanding, and may possibly do for quite some time, but there is of no doubt that they do happen.

In a strict sense life from lifelessness may be the realm of 'miracles' but it is actually quantifiable and detectable, and more importantly, falsifiable (there are many systems that cannot sustain life, at all), so almost certainly has a definitive 'answer', we just don't really know what it is yet.

Why would gravity want to stop Australians falling off the Earth? WHERE ARE YOUR ANSWERS NOW, SCIENCE?!
