Hi Wisdom,
I believe that high miracles are private and personal. Most likely, any evidence is known only to the person who experienced the miracle.
I know of 3 high miracles that have happened to me. I'm not saying that's all there were, but those 3 were when I was younger & they really stuck with me. Especially since in each case my life was saved, literally.
I will tell you about 2 of them.
1) I was 9 years old. It was summer. I was with my friend Eddy. It was a beach town where my family went every summer. We were walking barefoot, wearing bathing suits.
Back then, telephone booths were made of glass & metal. Eddy & I were leaning on the metal, just talking. It was raining, but when you are 9 you do not care about that. We kept talking. We were in bathing suits anyway, so who cared if we got wet?
We were there for about 15 minutes, ignoring the lightning & thunder. It was common to have a thunderstorm in the afternoons there.
All of a sudden, I felt someone push me off the telephone booth. I truly mean I FELT SOMEONE PUSH ME OFF THE TELEPHONE BOOTH. In the split second that my brain was asking "who pushed me," a lightning bolt hit the top of the telephone booth!
I was thrown in the air across the sidewalk & into the street. I was oblivious to being hurt, because all I kept thinking was that someone pushed me but I didn't see anybody!
Eddy was killed, but I was still alive. I wasn't even hurt except for a couple of scraped knees & elbows. Everyone had questions & more questions, and they all said I was in shock because I was so quiet. All I knew was that I had a secret, and I knew if I told any of the grown-ups, they wouldn't believe me.
2) I was 12 years old. It was also summer. I was again in that beach town for the summer. We only had one weekend left before we went back home. I had a friend who lived there all year. Her father was taking the family out in their boat & she invited me. I LOVED boats.
I went on a boat any chance I had. Fast ones, slow ones, it didn't matter. I loved being on the open water & in a boat on a sunny day. Even when I was 5 I went fishing with my grandparents. We would leave at 4 am & drive over 3 hours to get into a small boat & go out onto the ocean. I knew how to fish at 5. I would fish until I got tired. Then I would lie down & drag my hand in the water, watch the water, listen to the water against the boat. To me, back then, there was nothing more peaceful than that.
So I said YES, I WOULD GO WITH THEM. I jumped up & down & I was so excited. I counted the days; I couldn't wait. I barely slept the night before, & I had to get up early.
I took a shower & washed my hair. When I was finished I heard in my head "don't go on the boat." I HEARD IT IN MY HEAD. Not like I would hear you if you were in the room with me. I can hardly explain it now. It was as if that sentence was put into my head. And what is even stranger is that I calmly answered, "OK."
I put on different clothing, went to my friend's house, knocked on the door. When her mother opened the door, I politely told her I couldn't go on the boat & I thanked her for inviting me. Now, if my parents had told me I couldn't go, I would have yelled & cried, trying to get them to let me go. So, to this day, I do not know what had a hold on me, keeping me from going on that boat.
I wasn't upset. I remember vividly the feeling of peace that enveloped me. I took a lawn chair & sat in a sunny part of the front yard, letting my long hair dry in the sun. I could smell the Honeysuckle flowers. I felt the grass on my feet. I watched the Morning Glory flowers blow in the slight breeze. It was a beautiful, quiet, peaceful morning. I just sat there for hours, feeling like part of nature. I even had a smile on my face. I heard my parents on the porch. I can remember my father asking my mother, "I thought she was going on a boat today. My mother answered, "I don't know." But they sounded so far away.
Several hours later, my father came over to me & in a cheery voice, said "hey ----, I thought you were going on a boat today with your friend ----." I smiled & said yes. He asked me why I didn't go. I just said something changed my mind. (That was my mistake — I didn't say that I changed my mind; I said that SOMETHING changed my mind.) He wanted to know what that something was. I couldn't tell him; I didn't really even know how to tell him. But he kept pushing. He pointed out how I love boats & wouldn't miss a boat ride for anything.
I was starting to come out of the trance that I had been in all those hours. Now I could hear all the regular noises that were around me; I didn't hear them for all the hours before. It was as if something kept me in a cocoon of nature, since those were the only sounds I heard all that time. Now everything seemed harsh & too bright, & I was nervous with all the questions. Because I knew he was right.
I finally told him the truth. He BELIEVED me. But it made him ask more questions — who did I think it was, God? I said no, but someone who worked for God. I didn't even know where the answers were coming from. He asked if it was an angel, & I said yes. I was pleased that he believed me, but I couldn't understand why this was such a big deal to him, why he wouldn't stop asking me questions.
I finally asked him why he was asking me so many questions. Then his cheery voice went away. He said, "well ----, I have to tell you something. But first I want to tell you that I'm very glad you didn't go on that boat today."
He then told me that the boat that my friend & her family was on — the same boat I was supposed to be on — had blown up!!! Out in the water, the boat just blew up!!! My mouth dropped open when he told me that. My friend's mother was killed; her father lost a leg; her younger brother was killed; and she was near death in the hospital (she did survive).
That was a high miracle for me. My father & mother argued on the porch that night. I could hear them. My father was saying it was a genuine miracle; my mother scoffed at him. He knew nothing could keep me off a boat if I had the chance to be on one. So, he KNEW a miracle had happened.
Wisdom, I think that there are many high miracles that happen. But I think that most of them are personal, where the person knows he or she just experienced a miracle. But they feel that if they told anyone, no one would believe them. So, they keep it to themselves, a secret.
The evidence is usually only in the mind of the person who experiences the miracle. There are some exceptions, but too many people call them coincidence.
That's unfortunate.

When the high miracle happens, that is its evidence. It is as simple as that. The evidence is found when the miracle has happened, or even while it is happening. If no high miracle has happened to you there is something wrong with you.
You might test the possibility of evidence by considering one high miracle that you experienced in your life. The occurrence of that miracle was, and still is, its evidence, the evidence.
I have found many evidences of many high miracles not only in my life but also in the life of others.

No, they didn't deal drugs in those days. I thought everyone knew that. He is a God of miracles and God is able to do anything. Can't you understand about all the creation being intelligently designed? I guess it's a fad to deny what is already proven to be true. So many messed up people around who don't believe the truth. Just shows you what this world is coming to, utter chaos.

Miracles happen everyday somewhere and evidence of any high miracle is just infront of us (all we need is open our eyes)

A miracle is a marvelous event manifesting a supernatural act of a divine agent. Since it is a supernatural act therefore it can not be proved directly with the help of reasons, logic and arguments which are used to prove only a natural act (how and in what way it happened). We can prove it only indirect way.
It is quite reasonable and logical to believe in existence of God and his unlimited powers to do anything, his messengers and the books he revealed on his messengers.
Since a few of the people deny the existence of God and his unlimited powers and they can't prove their claim with convincing arguments whereas rest of the people believe in it; so we can't call the beliefs of majority as irrational.
Thus it is evident that God can do it and he did it to help his messengers to prove themselves as true messengers of God.

isn't is also possible to contest any evidence with a different hypothesis?
Evidence has been found plenty of times. and the theories will ever clash. that is why you have to asses the data yourself and add it up in your own mind and reason your own answers.

Nope. There are no miracles. Period. But if you think you've found evidence of one:

it is not possible to scientifically prove any, as far as I know - but only through experience and eyewitness testimony can you say that, to you, miracles have been proved.
I believe they have been proved to me over and over.
