As Bart Ehrman schooled L'il Billy Craig about, 10 years ago, in the Resurrection debate, when Billy was doing his sleight of hand attempting to use Bayesian Probability, to prove the resurrection, a "miracle" goes to the VERY end of the line when looking at probabilities. All other explanations have to be excluded. Many of the people who claim various "miracles" were totally unsupervised and there were no controls. THAT is not science, and "scientifically documented" is simply false. Mostly not even one other explanation has been looked at. That's not science.
A good example is the Padre Pio nonsense.

Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
