Science doesn't doubt anything. People offer realistic counter explanations to purported phenomena.
The point is that a miracle is by definition a supernatural event. If one makes an extraordinary claim, that same person mist provide extraordinary evidence for said claim. It is not incumbent on anyone else to disprove that claim.
For example, if I told you there was a troll in my closet that gives me an unending supply of Reeses Pieces, it would not be up to you to prove that the troll doesn't exist. It would be up to me, the claimant, to prove that it does.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
