All sorts of miracles happen. Many years ago everybody on the planet would have regarded radios, TVs, computers, and many other things as "miracles".
..... There are also many coincidences, and perhaps some of them could be statistically evaluated to find out what the odds are that this kind of thing can happen.
..... Some people are "tuned in" to God or to spirits (only if they deserve it?), and miracles can happen to them that often are very difficult to explain to others and that may be thought to be normally impossible - certainly not repeatable. Maybe "faith" is required (any belief system), perhaps this is only a "Placebo effect"?
..... Proofs may not be possible to obtain, and often no witnesses are available either, just when they are needed.
