Who done it? What caused it? Will it remain a mystery? A real crime which leads to search for the culprit or a mystery novel read for pure enjoyment will present the clues. Each bit of information needs to be proven true to solve the mystery. Magicians can perfect tricks that fool the eye. The existence of miracles depends on the belief of those involved, usually a belief in the supernatural.
As mysteries present themselves, our imagination and logic need to prevail. Science often reveals proof that the suspect is guilty. Careful investigation can explain the methods of the magician. Possible miracles go beyond scientific proof and depend on the perspective of the believer.
Mystery, magic, and miracles often include a fourth m - manipulation. Authors of mystery novels present clues, some leading to the truth, some misleading. The reader's imagination is manipulated to follow the story until the conclusion. A magician practices his illusions in order to manipulate the audience into believing the fantastic. Some people believe in miracles that in their minds don't require scientific proof. Their fellow believers reinforce the possibility. People can manipulate their own thinking to sidestep logic.
Many mysteries will remain just that, with no explanations. Science doesn't have all the answers. Be careful that your need for answers allows others to manipulate your thinking.
Many like a good mystery novel or movie. Some like magic shows. And those that believe in miracles will leave this earth in hopes that the biggest miracle is true.
