Oftentimes, the miracle is not in the event, but in the timing/specificity of the event.What does the Church say about these miracles? Does it focus on the timing? I don't think so. I'm fairly certain that the events themselves are considered miracles by the Church, not the timing.
No, there's lots of natural explanations for the 10 plagues of Egypt. The miracle is in the timing...that they all happened, one after another, exactly as Moses prophesized. But the events themselves have a natural explanation.
No it's not.
The Fatima "miracle of the sun" was a natural, solar event, even though it was unique in all of history. The sun didn't do anything UNordinary (i.e. unnatural), just OUT of the ordinary (i.e. out of solar rhythm). The miracle is that an ordinary event (i.e. solar flares) happened EXACTLY when Our Lady said they would.
