RF Holland held an anti-realist view of miracles, as he believed that miracles, although they do not necessarily come from God, can be considered 'miraculous' as they have deep personal significance. When an anti-realist talks about a miracle, they are not referring to the event itself, but rather the state of mind of the experiencer. Holland explains his anti-realist position on miracles by telling the hypothetical story of a boy on a toy car who has strayed onto a railway track, and the wheel of the car is stuck in the track. The boy does not see the train coming, and is focused on trying to untangle the car from the track. The mother of the child runs forward shouting and waving, as the train pulls closer with speed. It is impossible for the driver to stop the train in time by braking, as the brakes would not work quickly enough. However, just before hitting the boy, the train comes to a sudden stop, as the driver had fainted, and the brakes had been automatically triggered as the driver had stopped applying pressure to the control lever. The driver fainted due to a blood clot, which had no relation to the incident, and the mother thanked God for the miracle. Holland says that although no violation of the natural order is involved, the event is 'miraculous' for the mother, as it was such an amazing coincidence, and the mother's religious beliefs were enforced by this event, and even though she later learned the true reason why the train stopped, she still thinks of it as a miracle, as it had such a big impact on her and her son's lives and her religious beliefs
