On another couple of threads, miracles are discussed. Specifically, the question of comparing OT miracles and Jesus miracles to present day miracles and the miracles of the middle ages.

I would like to know more about the miracles claimed by religions - Christian, Jewish & Islamic. (Like the miracles of Genevieve mentioned elsewhere)

So I am opening this thread in the hopes that perople will post some links to miracles or relate what they know of miracles. Just the known/accepted story.

I hope people will NOT discuss them unless it is to add additional sources or add or dispute "facts" of the case. Discussion of what these miracles might do for faith or reason, I hope will be done in their own threads that could be linked to here.

Thanks for helping to build this reference thread to educate on what miracles are claimed to have happened.

I found this Miracles page when I was going through my "deconversion" process. I didn't consider them "proof" of the supernatural, but I found it interesting because it documented "miracles" from many different religions.

Looks like the Christians are not going to help me out here on the modern ones. I'll have to collect 'em as I see 'em.

I heard a story of two orphans in Romania or Latvia or somthing that lived in miserable conditions but were inseprable and really helped each other get through it all. They were a boy and a girl. An American couple wanted to adopt the boy and tried to adopt the girl but they couldn't because her Mom was in prison and didn't want to give her up. So they took home the Boy and brought him to America but he was really withdrawn and used to rock back and forth and call out her name and talk in Romanian.
Then one day they were at a Sizzler and they heard a child speaking in Romanian and it was her. The mother died in prison and this other American couple adopted her but she had the same withdrawl symptoms and would do the same thing and pine over the lost boy. They became reunited. The two couples lived a few blocks from each other in the same town. My mother told me this story. She may have gotten it in Reader's Digest or somthing.

Most non-Christians would say they were misdiagnosed.

I saw a program on DHC or DSC channel called "Medical Miracles" in which at least two doctors believed they had seen a bonafide miracle. According to the above assertions, they should know. One involved inoperable brain cancer, spreading rapidly and then simply disappearing in two days, and the other involved the spontaneous recovery of sight by a man struck by lightning who was declared permanently blinded.
