I'm trying to reply to the thread but can't see my posts...
As for showing you more stories of miracles, what's the point? There are many miracles that have church approval and you can Google them.
There is no "proof" of divine intervention, but incidents like Marion Carroll's healing are evidence to support the belief that physical nature is not absolutely uniform. I'm aware of Hume's approach to miracles, but it's an unnecessary commitment to uniformity. You don't have to abandon methodological empiricism to accept that nature may be open to agency that is not part of the same, material causal chain.
