The quotes in
Message 8 aren't mine, but am responding to the rest of the post and
Message 9.
Just as a miracle is nothing more than a remarkable thing or event that
apparently contradicts known scientific laws, supernatural describes what exists outside a man's normal experiences or the
known laws of nature.
My experiences and knowledge will be different from those of someone from an isolated tribe or from those of a scientist. What I consider miraculous, a scientist may not because they know more about the laws of nature etc.
As Jar mentioned, resusitating someone from death or near death with CPR would probably have been considered a miracle to early Christians if not demonic.

I don't think it's necessary to have a medical background to realize that what just happened can't be medically explained.
Considering that your OP only said a cripple, I have no way of knowing if the healing can be medically explained. Obviously, it could not be medically explained by me, so as I said, initially my repsonse is that it is miraculous, but I wouldn't instantly advertise it as a supernatural miracle by a divine power.
It would be better to deal with a real situation, than hypothetical sci-fi type of situations.

A group of people prayed with and for the man and his glass eyeball miraculously changed into a real one.
Now this situation is supposedly a real one, correct? Was it ever investigated?
Have you ever read of an instance in the Bible where God took a manmade substance and transformed it into something natural?
A gentle answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.
