Why don't miracles happen where we can see them?

Question

Why does every paranormal/supernatural event happen where modern cameras and recording devices cannot find them. Most religious texts involve plain-sight miracles and supernatural happenings, events not open to denial and interpretation. The only questioning was if the source was good or evil. I've searched for a documentable faith-healing, supernatural plague or ghost finding none. They only happen where it can only be recorded by word-of-mouth and folklore. The closest thing we have to any proof of any paranormal thing is some hard questions on UFOs (Delphos, Kansas). Do any religious texts state that miracles and supernatural happenings will stop or do they speak of these things like we should expect them?

To clarify, not saying religious texts aren't open to interpretation, just the miracles within (i.e. a stinking dead bodies raising to life after a few days; Moses striking a rock and causing water to come out; God following his people as a pillar of fire at night). These things aren't subjective--if you saw this you would believe. Someone couldn't tell you "Nah, that's completely natural"

Answer 1

Because they don't exist; they're made up. Do you really think it's such a great coincidence that there has never been recorded any miracle or supernatural event or object on tape? Most individuals make them up.

Answer 2

I see miracles all the time. What about answers to prayer? I have my prayers answered a lot. Read Hebrew Chapter 11 in the Bible. Faith comes from the word of God.

Answer 3

Stop what you are doing. Are you still breathing, that is a miracle. Can you move your head from side to side, that is a miracle, Can you feed yourself, that is a miracle. Go to the hospital and look in the nursery, you will find many miracles, the list can go on. Stop counting your woes and start counting your blessings, you will be surprised.

Answer 4

We can expect them.

Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.

While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.

Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.

I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.

I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.

I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.

Answer 5

the creation of life is a miracle and a gift from God. That pretty substantial

Answer 6

They happen in front of you too. Only that you then don't see those as being miracles.

Put other way : If they happen in front of you, they are no more miracles.

Answer 7

we don't see them because they don't exist. you really believe that religious texts are not open to denial and interpretation? wow--that is naive!!!!!!
