You and Greg F are both making the same point, namely that the existence of God is reasonable and thus miracles and such are also reasonable. That is fine but when the Christian is an empiricist, he is separating himself from the knowledge of God Himself, i.e. the power of God.

To the empiricist, all knowledge comes from sensory perception and reasoning. If he holds a concept of God, and even if he has received that definitive divine revelation that Jesus Christ is Lord, he will nevertheless insist that God must comply with his own ability to comprehend Him. On principle, whether he realizes it or not, He rejects the Spiritual insight that God’s ways are not our ways, His thoughts are not our thoughts. He always anthropomorphizes God.
