Miracles do not prove religion, for religion is something that you do not prove. Religion is expressed by faith on things that the human mind can never grasp.
Miracles merely shows us another facet of the mystery that we cannot comprehend. It gives us something to be in awe of. Miracles do not prove religion--rather they testify to incompleteness of human understanding.

Sure no! First, you can never prove a miracle - you can only have faith it is a miracle, which already presupposes your religion. You can never PROVE there is no possible "natural" (whatever that word implies) explanation for the event you call a "miracle".
If you for example want a miracle to actually PROVE there is a God, you first have to prove it is really done by God, and if that is done already BEFORE the miracle in its turn proves there is a God, this obviously is arguing in a circle.
IF you could prove there is a God, you could maybe prove he did this or that miracle, but if you can't prove in the first place there is a God, you can surely nor prove He did this or that miracle. In short, miracles are even more difficult to prove than religion or God's existence itself! ;)

Miracles prove that there is, at times, a heaven while on earth...I don't believe in religion because of all the wars that have occurred over all the separated religions. I believe we were created by one creator and that we are all the same inside.

No miracles can't prove Religion,nor are they intended to . Miracles are a sign to mankind that something has to be done if we are continually offending God and that we will never have peace unless we turn with trust to God's mercy. So far mankind has not heeded the messages.

Well, it's a miracle that complex human beings were created out of nothing. Does that prove religion?

It is interesting that people look for disorder to prove religion when the evidence of order seems more compelling.
Many times in the Bible the chosen are criticized for demanding signs.
But I will give more credence to anything someone says while performing miracles.

Miracles, in my view, prove only our ignorance of the totality of the causes and effects governing the particular miraculous deed or event.

You mean can miracles prove religion?
Uhmm...hmm... sometimes and sometimes no. Sometimes yes because of Jesus and the rest of the Bible. Sometimes no because of some retarded "evangelists" who "think" they're doing the "right thing" by healing others of illness.

By its very nature, religion cannot be proven. Not even when miracles happen.
