So are you saying that Darwinists do believe in miracles?

Of course most "Darwinists" (if there were such a thing) believe in miracles. Most scientists are Christians, after all.

Scientists just don't confuse the possibility of miracles with actual physical evidence that those miracles happened.

And a follow up question if I may: If Darwinists do believe in miracles, why are they so openly hostile to Intelligent Design proponents who are basically just saying that life was created miraculously by a Designer?

Because ID proponents pretend that such an assertion is scientific in nature. It isn't, unless you're willing to re-define the word "science" (as is Dr. Behe, the leading proponent of ID) to include such pursuits as astrology.

Words mean things. We should fight PC attempts to change those meanings wherever they appear.

Most scientists who believe evolution os the best explantion for the diversification of species are probably not Christian because there are probably more Indians and Chinese in the group that Europeans and Americans.

Nevertheless, as scientists they probably neither believe nor disbelieve in miracles.

That's bascially what scientists do ... look for evidence and evaluate it.
