Merriam/Websters dictionary defines a miracle as an “extraordinary event manifesting divined intervention”. Cynics claim that miracles defy the laws of nature and therefore, cannot occur. Please consider the following example:

Situation #1
A ball is dropped from a height and falls to the ground. It obeys the law of nature

Situation #2
A ball is dropped from a height and falls toward the ground. A hand reaches out and catches it. It never reaches the ground. The ball has obeyed the laws of nature, but the hand had intervened. If the hand were God’s, we would have witnessed divine intervention without a defiance of the laws of nature.
