  there is no real point in guessing about miracles happening later on.
  Science laws are called "laws" because they describe the past,
  not because they lay down rules for what has to happen next.
  Still, so far, betting that the old laws keep working has
  always paid off. Technically, the universe could just blink out
  of existence at any moment. That would not really bother anyone.

 1. That is an intellectualist/atheist definition of "miracle",
intended to show that none exist. The actual meaning is "something
worth looking at". Or perhaps "something you don't see every day".

That is certainly not the way the word is used by  the religious people I know.
I rather expect that the people down the road at the "Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministry" would also beg to differ.
So it is at the least an atheist/fundamentalist definition.
