Not in the sense that they are mystical magical events that were destined or prophesied or acts of god. I might say "Wow, its a miracle!" because the event might be amazing and hard to believe, but I don't think there was anything magical or spiritual about it. For example, this weekend Kobe Bryant and his daughter passed away (RIP), but at the same time a woman was rescued from a mountain where she had been holding on to the side for who knows how long, and her strength gave out just as the rescue person was there to grab her. There's video of this. Is that miraculous? Was that a miracle, or was she just strong enough to hold on for that long? Who knows?

Most definitely Yes . There are many recent stories online about coincidental meetings between
friends in very unusual circumstances , such as 2 close friends who grew up together , went to
the same school and high school , then went their separate ways . Fast-track 40-50 years to now .
In a foreign country , maybe their last world holiday , they're thinking back over their life .
They've lost contact and are fondly remembering someone they've looked for and can't find . In
the background , they hear or notice another tourist that sounds familiar , and all of a sudden
their look , their sound or movement transforms that long faded memory into a moment of miracle .
These sudden and unexpected meetings of old friends generally rejuvenate these peoples lives ,
which lead to major changes for the two people involved such as living together or marrying .

Here's a fairly common office miracle . You've been working for 5 years in the accounts department ,
and it's generally routine stuff and you're getting a little bored . After work , you start looking
online for something maybe a little bit more exciting or varied , or you've heard from your weekend
friends of some positions coming up (in the old days , it was browsing the newspaper for new jobs).
You're a little anxious about all this , but a possible better position elsewhere is offered , and
you take it a step further , by secretly going for an interview at the new company (a bit of juggling
here with the old company) . And you get the call from UpEmCo that there is a place for you .
It's time to see the Trent the Manager at Goldsboro Inc , that you're handing in your resignation .
As you knock on Trent's door and enter , he looks up and says , 'Ah Bobby , just the person I need
to talk to . The Assistant Manager's position has just become available , and I was just thinking
that you're doing well and with your time and experience here , it's yours if you want it ?'.
While thinking on this and just before writing this , I recalled what happened to my daughter just
last year . She's an accountant , and had got tired of working at the firm and decided to move on .
As she went to hand in resignation , her boss gave her a promotion .

Well that depends on what kind of miracles you are talking about.
Are you talking about you know a person walking on water and raising people from the dead ? than no
Are you talking about during a football/soccer came where one team is up 3-0 with 10 minutes left and they end up losing 4-3 than yes.

Miracles are a romantic idea, but no. I don't believe in them.

Yes, they clearly happen as only those godless types would deny them... -Eucharistic Miracles (just proves what the Catholic church teaches about The Holy Eucharist is true) -Our Lady of Guadalupe image from the year 1531
-Our Lady of Las Lajas (image on a rock from the year 1754) -St. Pio (1887-1968) (but I am sure the secular media tries their best to spread lies/disinformation about him)
etc. even that type of stuff aside for a moment... you hear of people being cured miraculously here and there to that doctors can't explain etc. so it's not like they are super rare (they probably happen more than most people would think I suspect). not only are there physical miracles, which draw the most attention, but spiritual ones where people who might have been living a life of sin, repent and turn back towards God as those are far bigger miracles than ones of the purely physical healing types. but one needs faith to see this.
but since many in the world oppose the truth, a lot just ignore that stuff above as they don't want to hear it etc.
p.s. those who selected 'depends on how one defines miracles' thing... I tend to see it as making the impossible, possible  (i.e. a act of God since for Him nothing is impossible as he can cure people, not only physically, but spiritually etc) |

Yes, I believe in miracles as in testimonies of miraculous healing of diseases and the supernatural works of God.

I'm honestly "Not Sure"...
I've heard of some interesting "stories" that have happened to people, that are hard to reasonably explain, without accepting the possibility of some kind of "divine" intervention...
And while, I don't believe in GOD and many other things "as described" in most religions... I also don't believe that our increasingly complex universe was randomly created...
In addition, while many people think the human race is highly advanced in our understanding of the "universe", I truly believe that we are still a very primitive species and we have a hell of a lot more to learn and understand...
To completely rule out the possibility of "Miracles"... Seems very arrogant, at least to me.
