This is currently an area of active study. What came before the Big Bang isn't known. "Essentially nothing" is only one of the possibilities. No hint of any miracles has yet emerged from any observation or theoretical analysis. But they'll keep looking and thinking.
i'm not talking about anything before the BB. As I understand it there was a point where time=0 and the question of what was before that is meaningless.
A singularity is as close to nothing as you can get and from minimal understanding it was essentially energy anyway and without a physical dimension. From that comes the universe as we know it today. Looks pretty miraculous to me.

Not the origin of life? Just the evolution of "sentient life," by which you must mean us? Well, okay. Where do you see the miracle? We're pretty much just like other mammals. Some have bigger, sharper teeth, some are faster, some have thicker fur, and some have bigger brains, like us. The evolution of our brains is an area of very active research.
When asked for a miracle to study you suggested "Creation" in your Message 1107, then when asked to be more specific you produced the two suggestions I considered above, and both are already areas of active research.
But you interpreted the request backwards. When I asked in Message 1106 if you had any miracles for us to study, it wasn't a request for suggestions for where to look for miracles. It was a request that you point us at an actual miracle that we already *know* (supposedly) is a miracle we can study.
We know that creation exists and I claiming that as a miracle that as you keep saying is being studied.

This is just one man's opinion of the top 10 miracles, and feel free to select your own miracle for study from anywhere you like, but at least this list provides you a starting point.
As you well know the Biblical claims of miracles are, if they happened, one time events and aren't available for study. I have answered your question, and selected a miracle by giving you what is the biggest miracle of all, which is being studied and you simply reject it.
He has told you, O man, what is good ; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God.
