The unforeseen outcomes of yesterday are the banal events of today. As knowledge of the physical world progresses both in terms of our ability to understand complex physical systems and to manipulate such systems to achieve a desired outcome, the “stochastic” nature of such systems become far more deterministic. Furthermore, we tend to adopt a dualistic descriptive terminology in regards to the outcomes; miracles for “desired outcomes” and bad outcomes for “undesired outcomes.” In either case, our lack of knowledge (i.e. abject ignorance) of the system under consideration remains the same. The term “miracle” is, in my humble opinion, a sugarcoat for ignorance of the functioning of a particular system in which intervention (or lack thereof) still results in a favorable outcome.
