  Hume also, in one of his definitions of “miracle,” speaks of an event brought about “by a particular volition of the Deity, or by the interposition of some invisible agent” (Hume 1748/2000: 87). Since the paradigmatic cases under discussion are for the most part claims that, if true, would answer to the theological dimension of Clarke’s description, one might take a supernatural cause to be a necessary condition for an event’s being a religiously significant miracle and use the word “miracle” in this sense where there is no danger of confusion. On the other hand, Basinger (2018: 4) argues that incorporating the condition of supernatural agency into the definition of a miracles would have the awkward consequence that the question of whether an event is considered miraculous would depend upon an individual’s psychological sense; and while such definitions are possible, they are out of the main stream of discussion in the literature on miracles.
