Friend, I think the definition or interpretation of Miracle will be different for different people. A simple woman , with a big knee problem and unable to walk without pain, comes out of a prayer hall , walking without help, would insist on calling this miracle. a child falling from the 10th floor and surviving.......
People will believe in miracles only if something like that happens to them . Or if it happens to someone known closely to them.
Let me share MY experience with miracles.... that is ,IF you totally believe me in what I am saying.
I am from a country called India and our family believes in following a great Person , called Sri Satya sai baba. . A person credited with great powers .We keep pictures of this pius, great person in our home. Just ordinary standard photographs.
Would you believe if I say that from time to time , there will be a shower of some special powders from the face of that picture frame!. Red colour powders, grey colour powders , falling from the various parts. How does one explain it? For that matter why should I explain it?
One can say that these are some stray incidences and real miracles are that save millions of people, make isralies and arabs very friendly and things like that.
As I said, it depends upon what we call miracle as.

I do. My Son's friend was in a terrible car accident. He should have died. God protected him. He had a broken femur, head cut, and leg cut. No internal injuries. The doctors said he should have died. He didn't and he is preaching today at the age of 24. What an awesome preacher. Another friend of mine. Her son was guarding the mess hall in Iraq. A bomb landed in front of him, and bounced to the other side of the tent and blew up 15 feet the other side. That is a miracle. I wake up every day that in itself is a miracle.

I do, and believe God is still capable of producing but the faith that is required of this generation is sadly lacking to produce them because they believe more in science and doctors than the power of God - I do not believe that these methods should be refused for healing, but I have been in a couple of miracles real miracles that God has accomplished in my life. So yes I do believe that God is in the miracle business today!

I do! Too many unexpected happenings which appear against our poor mortal intellect have occurred.
Perhaps you would like to look at the definition of a miracle.
Faith has a great deal to do with accepting miracles. If you don't have faith then don't expect miracles. We of the Christian belief believe that when Jesus instructed us to "...ask and ye shall receive..." know that this is one of the fundamental truths, i.e., miracles of our faith.

Yes, I do. My mom and my dad are both alive and healthy today because of miracles performed by God. My mom came out of a coma following a liver transplant because of a miracle. My dad, who was once told he would need a heart transplant to survive, was healed to the point that he no longer needed a heart transplant. All because of prayer and God working miracles!!

Miracles happen everyday. People who go into remission from cancer, living through an accident that should have killed you, having a financial upswing in the time of utmost need, etc. You just have to look around you to see God' miracles.

Nope. I've had a lot of good things happen to me in my life, but nothing that I couldn't explain. I have never seen proof of an actual miracle - something that could not be explained through natural causes.

I do. God has performed 2 healing miracles on me personally and 1 on my son. There have been other countless miracles I have seen Him perform in my personal life,the greatest of which was salvation through Jesus Christ.

Absolutely!!! A girl I met was deathly allergic to lactose (made her throat close up and all that). She prayed that God would heal her of it and then, after her and the group she was with finished praying, she tried some cake. Her throat started to swell and she said out loud, "NO, I know I'm healed of this!". Her throat went down, she ate the rest of the piece of cake and has been able to consume dairy products since. That's one of many 'miracles' I know of.

I do. Because they still happen within Catholicism.
Miracles (science is not able to explain REAL miracles, and those miracles aren't in contradiction to the unchanging Truth in Christianity), don't exist outside Catholicism, but Satan makes it appear so from time to time.
An atheist was "miraculously" healed and became a pastor...
I guess Satan gained an entire congregation.
Satan will feed you one thousand truths, if only he can get you to believe one lie.
I guess protestants view "nice things" as miracles, but thats only because they don't get real ones like us Catholics.
