"Like stopping the sun for Joshua?"

Did God stop the sun?? The earth revolves around the sun, not vice-versa. He may have stopped the earth or He may have made the observers THINK the sun had stopped.

"Like the floating ax head?"

Metal can float - ever see the Battleship New Jersey? A miracle - yes. Outside the norm of possibility - no.

"Like wet wood spontaneously combusting?"

Good question. I'll have to think about that one.

"Like conceiving a child in the womb of a virgin? "

Not beyond the realm of possibility. There are popualtions of animals - like some lizards, that are totally all female. They reproduce by parthenogenesis - without breeding. Again, a miracle? Yes. Beyond the realm of explanation through God's natural laws - no.

"Like a talking donkey? " We have those. I call them Democrats. Seriously, that's a good example of a totally unnatural miracle.

"Like a burning bush that is not consumed?"

Ever see foxfire? Its a fungus that grows on wood and glows like its on fire at night. Miracle - yes. Not explanable through natural lawas - no. Actually God speaking through the burning Bush to Moses is an example of a pure miracle. Bushes can't speak.

"Mana from heaven?"

I read somewhere about another "explanation" for that, but regardless, I'd consider it a miracle.

"Should I go on? You are putting God in a box."

I can't put God in any box. He created the laws which run the Universe - chemical laws, physiacl laws, Evolution, the Big Bang, ions, atoms, etc. He did it - all of it, out of absolute nothingness. I am not disputing that. What we are discussing is HOW He did it or might have done it - neither of us was there.

"Where do you think the fossils of the offspring of the fallen angles who mated with woman and beast are?"

Angels are non-corporeal beings. Any offspring they produced may be pure spirit also, On the other hand, the chance of any one dead creature prducing a fossil are exceedingly remote. Take a walk in a forest any day and see how many skeletons of dead animals are lying around.
