The Bible is full of hundreds of miracles. Not just little "the-cancer-went-into-remission-by-itself" miracles, but big ones, like the parting of the Red Sea, water into wine, or raining frogs. Now we don't see any (that we can't explain scientifically). The Bible also contains many instances where God communicates directly with humans. Now, this never happens. I don't know what others' experiences of talking to God were like, but despite being a committed Christian for 20 years, I can honestly say I've never heard God, or even felt like he was trying to tell me something.
Why are all these things in the Bible, but we see none of them today? Jesus' atonement for our sin is now complete, and these miracles would be very useful to help all people realize that Jesus is Lord, which is exactly what God wants, right?
Surely God realized that the sudden absence of miracles would result in much scepticism, so why did He do it?
