If my glass of water becomes wine, by my taste test, then I'll call it a miracle. You just let me know where and when to show up.

See, I wasn't so much interested in *why* you don't believe in miracles, I was most interested in *what* would be a miracle to you and what that would do to your atheism?

I have no doubt you believe in nothing other than that you can see or touch. My point was to the millions of people of faith, they don't care if you can prove a "miracle" not a miracle. Their faith is all they need to believe in the miracle and the Church.

That's the part that fascinates me: why don't atheists see that people of faith don't really care what they believe? Folks attack you, not for proving the miracle ordinary, but for attacking their faith.

Personally I think you do realize that - which is why you do it.

I know that people believe in lots of things. I'm skeptical of "miracles." I'm especially skeptical of miraculous cures. I don't care what others believe, but I'm interested in what they believe.
