No it's not, because the alternative is a suspension of the laws of physics. It's more plausible that they were mistaken, or embellishing, or that it was mistranslated or gradually overexaggerated over time... In fact, just about anything is more plausible than believing in miracles.
A miracle is not a suspension of the laws of physics. It is simply a cause that is not natural (supernatural if you will).
You keep saying these things like that is how historical analysis works and all you have to do is claim: it could have been anything other than what it says and I don't have to even think about it because...my circular miracle argument. Here, I helped you by crossing off those things you have presented not one shred of evidence for and/or have not proposed your 'more plausible' theory that accounts for the facts that we have.
