I don't think so.
Most people there, numbered in the tens of thousands, saw the zig zagging sun movements across the sky. But some didn't. Plenty of the ones who didn't were Catholic (as has been linked here already), and plenty of the ones who did were skeptic.
That's the thing with miracles. We don't understand why God grants this gift to some but not to others.
I was being a bit snarky. The reason some people "see" these "miracles" can easily be explained by the mass hysteria and ocular effects of staring at the sun. Not everyone is going to stare at the sun at exactly the same time for the same length of time, so obviously not everyone would do it long enough for their eyes to start going screwy.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
