1 Jesus Come up with your own definition of “miracles” Read: Mark 4:35-41 A widespread view of miracles sees them as breaks in the natural order of events in the material world. Sometimes these breaks are referred to as 'violations of natural laws', and it is often said that they are brought about by God, or by some extremely powerful being who can interfere with the normal course of nature's operation. A classic definition of 'miracle' is given in these terms comes from David Hume, who wrote on miracles in Chapter X ('Of Miracles') of his Enquiry concerning Human Understanding. ‘A miracle', says Hume, 'may be accurately defined as a, transgression of a law of nature by a particular volition of the Deity or by the interposition of some invisible agent.’ Davies, B.. (1992). Miracles. New Blackfriars, 73(857), 102–120. Retrieved from http://www.jstor.org/stable/43249099
