There are 3 definitions but because of the first one, I can't really use the 3rd, yet.

A supernatural act making the impossible possible.

An unlikely or yet unexplained event happening or a known, likely event happening but people calling it a miracle because of emotion bias, like pregnancy. (This is a useless yet the most common usage.)

The way I would prefer to use it, poetic license to "mythologize" a real event.
The fall of the Berlin Wall, "A wall that once stood looking indestructible, fell over night."
The lone protester in Tiananmen square, "Once a man carrying his shopping, became more than a man."

I like these. Honestly didnt thought of that before. Thanks.

It is basically a kind of mix between my first one with human bias that appear within someone's mind.

For example, the fall of berlin wall might be predictable if you look at the history. The possibility of the failure of the state isnt that low as well because it reeally seems unsustainable, but added with human bias and our knack of giving something a symbol can make something mundane into something fantastical, therefore making the union of east and west Germany this great symbol that happened, making it a miracle.

Aka. If you believe something is a,miracle, even somethin as certain and universal as gravity, it can be miracle.

Thats over generalizing, but you get the idea
