Josebab, please note that you say "until I find scientific explanations".

***You are speaking of phenomena in general, not of 'extraordinary' cases,
which will defy scientific explanations. When one says "miracles", one can
mean also healings that are unexplained now, but could be or not explained
later on. These are not miracles in the strict sense. There are strict
criteria for such miracles.
