Anytime any of these are examined with any level of critical scrutiny, the miraculous becomes mundane. There are more likely natural or other mundane explanations for every single one of them.
I also find it interesting that you didn't list any miracles that are claimed by Hindus or Muslims. Only the ones that support the one out of 1000's of gods you happen to believe in.
i just did a google search and copy and pasted a link that listed the top 10 miracles i did not choose it based on religious preference i have no preference for any man made religion
Doesn't matter.
I did a very quick search on a few of those supposed miracles, and they all turn out to have much more likely natural explanations. Hoax is just one of many possibilities.
So, why do you believe the so called miracles in the list you posted are legitimate?
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
