You may never have experience anything to lead you to think any different to that. But my faith is firmly based upon the miraculous. I have seen many time things that convince me of the reality of God, healing, the future predicted in events in my daily life by God's voice, God confirming the bible through signs. To know my experiences visit Know God Personally. Faith is not blind. My faith is firmly based upon what I have. It is not wishful thinking.
What I am asking is can miracles still exist without faith in them, and if so how do they occur. Can you not see that if an event happens, say kettle boiling, there is a process of how it happened, similar if water changed into wine, there must be a process we here in this universe can show how it happened. Where this breaks down, is when there is a need to call in "magic" because there is no other way that the process could be completed.
This is what is unsatisfactory for me. If your God reached into my realm and did stuff, I have to be able to detect that. But that has a very consequence for your God, I think. It lowers your God to the state of being a highly advanced being with better technology that I currently have. So we can use Arthur C. Clarke's quote "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
Note I am not saying either way miracles happen or not, I am just asking that we examine them fully and learn the truth about how they are done. Searching and learning the truth about things is, I think, a worthwhile thing to do and I may even suggest that your God would appreciate this....
