Miracles: What are They?

[cricket]

In a post earlier today, the science of miracles is questioned. Luigi Garlaschelli, an Italian chemist states, "Miracles are just paranormal events in religious clothing."

As Christians, should we agree with this definition? Are miralces nothing more than paranormal events?

Furthermore, is a miracle something "paranormal" to God? Are these otherwise unexplainable phenomena just a run-of-the-mill act for God, or are they something special? Something of divine nature alone, or something we, too will one day be able to perform?
