How do you know if an amazing act is a coincidence or a miracle? When something is considered a miracle, it means that a higher power like God intervening in a situation that we as humans can't explain. When believing in a miracle, along with that comes faith. Faith is believing what you hear, not on something that you experience yourself. The believing in things that we can't see or explain helps us make sense of the world in a way that we can understand because there are so many unknowns. A good example of this statement is the belief in religion. The belief in religion can save us from the real world momentarily. As Karl Marx said, "Religion is like a drug, but it is also the heart of a heartless world". Because we as humans fear the unknown, we look for anything that will help us make a little more sense of a world that we will never be able to fully understand.
