wistful, nothing about sunrise violates the universe’s physical laws and organising principles. Claims of 'magic' are common across all religions (and form part of the deception to which you referred).
There's not much 'wow' factor in:
then Muhammed left the planet on an Apollo rocket, or
and Jesus sent out for lots of fast food for the masses to eat, or
when you're dead, then like everything else, you stay dead, or
when they reached the Red Sea, the Hebrews boarded a ferry.

Individual claims of magic occurring are termed 'miracles' when they are made by religions, and it's significant that they are isolated incidents... as MasterLee said, it's used for special pleading.


David Hume said that miracles would be so extraordinary that to accept them, you would have to regard the suspension of nature’s laws as more likely than any other explanation - including deliberate deception, error, or the pursuit of personal benefit.
