While we can't see air or wind, we can measure their effects and document their existence objectively. The evidence for the existence of (for instance) neutrinos is overwhelming. This is not the case for deities. On the contrary, miracles are evidence of the existence of God. Seeing a violation of the natural laws by which the universe operates is that observable evidence.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Which peer-reviewed scientific journals have documented these miracles?
What's more, even if a miracle was verified through scientific investigation, there would remain the possibility that we simply don't understand the phenomenon in question sufficiently yet, and that it could be explained through naturalistic means. Please note that I'm not saying that that would necessarily be the case.
