Then our problem is only a matter of definitions. In one sense I agree with you. What I mean is the figurative sense. I also agree with your comment about the prairies and seeing God in his creation. Even Paul states that in Romans.
What I was referring to as a miracle would be something along the lines of "an event which goes against the laws of nature, designed and performed by God through man, by means of a miraculous measure of the Holy Spirit" That's probably not the dictionary definition of miracle, but I believe it pretty much describes what happened in the 1st century. Things like a birth defect being instantly cured, etc.
There are many things that may be termed a miracle in the figurative sense, as you have very well pointed out. I see no problem with your terming God's creation a miracle.
You need to relax a little bit. Are you looking for PROOF of something? I don't understand what you are after. If a miracle is a miracle then why sub-divide it into miracles that are bigger than other miracles. Christ didn't do miracles in his own town. Why? Because of the mentality of the people. Do we not see the miracles you speak of because...one..it would be used for profit...two it would be used to prove something? God said he was no respecter of persons. The Apostles and Prophets of old are no better than we are. We are above the angels. He said "Will I find faith when I return?" I think he will find RELIGION but not alot of child like faith. A child is not intellectual, pumped full of knowledge and thinks he/she has all the answers, they just TRUST. A child does not look for a formula or a pattern as to how things are done, they just trust. Now you answer a question for me. What is YOUR testimony for the Lord? I don't want what is coming out of your head, I want what lies in your heart.
What has He done in your life? Christ preached to the simple, ignorant, uneducated and rejected and they knew Him. You know ABOUT HIM but do you know HIM? I am NOT challenging you, I am asking a simple question which should not bring anger or prideful indignation. If it does bring either of those, then you should question your motives. We all should.
