I tried to read that WLC article, and it seems to come down to this:

God exists, and is very powerful. Therefor, God can do amazing things, and we will call them miracles.

Everything else is window dressing. He has not demonstrated God exists. Obviously, if God exists, with all the power normally attributed to him, he can do amazing things. It's a tautology. And even if it were true, he still offers no way you could ever distinguish a miracle from a non miracle. Because there isn't one.
Feel free to send me a private message.
