::::You're right: the [[NAB]] does use the word "miracle".  Logically it seems that "signs" would be a better term for what God reveals.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 20:16, 18 March 2011 (EDT)

==Problem with the gambler's fallacy==
    
Isn't the use of the gambler's fallacy in the article incorrect? The gambler's fallacy (as the article correctly points out) says that if you throw a dice nine times and none of those throws produced a six, it is now more likely to be a six. I.e. the probability of throwing a six is greater than 1/6.

The argument against miracles in the article is that if an event has a fixed probability and you do something more times, then you would expect that event to occur more often. E.g you would expect to get more sixes if you throw a dice 100 times than if you only threw it 10 times. [[User:Richardm|Richardm]] ([[User talk:Richardm|talk]]) 12:13, 12 September 2016 (EDT)
