   No.   
      
   A miracle should be anything that's conventionally   
   impossible, given the specific circumstances.   
      
   Entire herds of elephants exist. They are not a miracle   
   per se. But if an entire herd appeared in a crowded   
   suburban neighborhood and a thousand ring doorbells,   
   security cams & traffic cams could find not a trace of   
   them getting there, nor any type of vehicle that might   
   carry them, that would be a "Miracle." Would it not?
