Would it be considered a miracle?”

I think it would be a miracle. I remember reading a quote by Brigham Young about miracles (paraphrasing f course) in which he stated that a miracle is an event that occurs by natural laws that we are not aware of.

That makes sense to me. Everything has to happen by natural consequences. Those events that occur beyond our understanding our labeled ‘miracles’ so, I think the flashlight for the primatives would be very much a miracle.
