unexplained phenomena
'''Phenomena''' are occurrences or strange happenings that typically cannot be explained by [[science]], for example [[ball lightning]] or the [[efficacy of prayer]]. In scientific circles, the word carries a bit of a negative connotation.
Examples of so-far-unexplained '''phenomena''' include:
*[[Prayer]]
*[[Migration]] of birds in winter
*[[Extrasensory phenomena]]
*The [[Great Flood]]
*[[St. Elmo's fire]]
*[[Tornado]]es
*When the [[sun]] stood still over [[Jericho]]
*The [[miracle]] of the [[loaves and fishes]]
On the other hand, when [[scientists]] believe they have truly explained some process, such as [[evolution]] or the [[Big Bang]], they are rarely called '''phenomena''' anymore.
