page 485 note 2 Ibid. p. 319. Chryssides rejects what is sometimes called the ‘coincidence’ concept of miracle: ‘Many religious believers use the word “miracle” in the sense of “violation of scientific law”, and tend to feel that the term “miraculous’ is being withdrawn once scientific explanation of a remarkable phenomenon is offered’ (p. 320).
