This means that the age of science has come. Where there is science to explain stuff, there are fewer stuffs that are inexplicable (and fewer people to try faking "inexplicables").

Like spibbles said, the Bible is a book about miracles, so there are a lot of miracles in it. People who lack a good historical education and who get their only knowledge of ancient history from the Bible, would logically think that was the only thing going on in Ancient times, (not knowing about Alexander the Great, Julus Cesar, the Punic Wars, The Battle of Thermopyle, the Greek-Persian War, etc.) . They would get the impression that miracles must have happened all the time in Bible Days, because the happen a lot in the Bible. This mistaken impression might lead someone to think that miracles had "stopped" because they aren't very common now.
Little do these people realize that miracles were no more or less common in those days than they are today.... it is just that the Bible is a book about miracles, so you see a lot of miracles in it.... same as you see a lot of football players at a football game, but that doesn't mean everyone plays football.
The thing about a miracle is that it isn't something a person can control or make or cause to happen. God does His miracles when and if He so chooses. For some reason known but to Him, he does not make them common...(or perhaps it is just the uncommon ones we notice).
In any case Miracles do still happen today.

The age of miracles has certainly ended with the last Apostle. Look at the poor people that were tortured and murdered by the Nazis. Six million of them and God could not even muster up a little miracle to save an innocent child. What better time to show his power than to smite the atheists that were the cause of this misery. God did not love them and he did not protect them. Maybe that is because he does not exist. It has been reported that even Mother Teresa had her doubts about god.
This should now be the age of awakening.

Miracles do still take place, but not like they use to. Jesus performed miracles to get doubters to believe. We now have his Word and faith, that should be enough. Miracles do still happen, especially where God has not been heard before like in Africa, etc. Miracles get people's attention.
I think that I can say that I have had some miracles happen to me, but most people don't talk about theirs or don't experience them because of a lack of faith.

Some believe that the miracles God does, are only the ones from the past.
I know He still preforms miracles! I am humbled that He would show me, but He has! I have seen with my own eyes.

Possibly because you don't see miracles performed everyday. However, it's an interpretation.....some people believe that there are small miracles happening all the time, while others believe it is fate.

The age of miracles has passed and is still happening presently and will increase the closer we get to the return of Jesus. Miracles are not natural wonders or fortunate natural coincidences. Miracles are when God directly intervenes in reality affecting its change beyond natural explanations.
Our Lord does miracles for or through me every two or three weeks. I am living for free unemployed by choice for time with him instead of moneymaking or self gain since i sold and renounced all possessions in 1970. I give around a thousand dollars monthly to my 27 Catholic orphan daughters in India who adopted me in love affectionately in part of Jesus' hundredfold promise. Most of them have all expense paid by me degrees. 6 just got master's degrees. 6 are valedictorians with the school's highest marks due to being loved.
A month after i detached from all except God he gave me the gift of being able to pray in 12 Middle Eastern languages including ancient biblical languages, even curing an atheist of terminal cancer instantly after i prayed a few minutes in compassion for his unhappy despair and despondency with 2 months to live. 2 days later a CTscan found all the cancer of 3 large tumors was dead.
