Now, human reason has solved many mysteries, yet occurrences still happen that boggle the mind and make us wonder if there is still angelic influence on Earth. In the mid-90s, a TV series documented these freak happenings. COULD IT BE A MIRACLE? is an entertaining anthology of documented miracles retold with dramatic reenactments, and it also represents the non-denominational love of angels that permeated 1990s American media. We at Boys\u2019 Bible Study have examined this phenomenon previously by covering TV and film such as TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL and MICHAEL (1996), where ordinary people who are not devout Christians call upon angels in their lives without referencing Jesus or God specifically. COULD IT BE A MIRACLE? aids this worldview by presenting pulp authors of books about angels as expert witnesses and retelling stories of guardian angels and messenger spirits. In one example, a \u201ctall, elegant nurse\u201d rescues a hospitalized child from the brink of death by injecting him with \u201cangel power.\u201d In another, a man is warned against boarding a train doomed to crash by the spirit of his identical twin brother who died as a baby. Expert witness Eileen Freeman claims angels are a different species, neither divine nor human, so apparitions of dead loved ones are not true \u201cangel sightings,\u201d since the spirits of the dead are only \u201cmessengers.\u201d This idea is not backed up by biblical theology, but it feels nice, so most people were happy to let figures like Freeman make a lot of stuff up back in the 90s. Now that people experiencing religious psychosis get all their energy out by having frantic conversations with ChatGPT, is there any room for angels in big 2026? Angel sightings may have gone down, but one thing is true: TV \u201cangelslop\u201d like COULD IT BE A MIRACLE? is higher quality than the AI YouTube brainrot slop of our contemporary age. With lovingly composed music and graphic design, even a stupid program like this one feels like a miracle compared to what we have now.
