Prayer

I've never talked with anyone who thinks the breeze, in and of itself, is proof of God. So it's hard to comment on that first paragraph without talking to the person himself that said this. 

I was being facetious.

Now to answer your question. Miracles are not rare "in the bible" because that's pretty much what the bible is about lol. Supernatural happenings, God, etc etc. I don't take the OT stories as literal, real happenings, so it's pointless to comment on those. Most of the miracles described in the NT are attributed to miracles performed by Jesus during His life here. That's one person performing miracles out of the however many millions that were alive back then. I'd say in perspective miracles were still pretty rare.

Well, that brings up more questions.  Do you accept all the miracles of Jesus as fact?  Do you accept any miracles in the OT as fact?  If no for either of those, how do you tell which is fact and which is fiction?

If all you take as fact is the miracles Jesus performed and, as you said, that was one person performing miracles out of how many millions of people alive, then what makes you think that miracles happen today?  Do you just accept the church's judgement on that?

I believe the miracles of the NT are true - the immaculate conception, the miracles performed by Jesus, His rising from the dead, the apparitions, etc etc. I think the OT stories are fictional. I think some are probably based on real people, but the stories are told in a way that is fictionalized. As for Church approved miracles, I haven't studied up on every single one of them, but I do trust the Church's judgement.
