There are at least nineteen, including feeding five thousand, walking on water, stilling a storm, healing hundreds, raising a dead girl to life, casting out demons, and raising Jesus from the tomb
And yet, there is no evidence whatsoever that any of these alleged "miracles" really took place. Do you believe that Muhammad rode a winged horse up to the seven layers of heaven? If not, why not? This is a tale that is in a "holy book" believed by millions to be true. And this was also supposedly dictated by "God". Why believe one story and not the other?
Yes, there's no evidence. That's why my faith is based on reason and not 2000-year old miracles. Once I believe in the divinity Jesus, the miracles teach me about Him. 'Evidence' has no place in history unless the person did something lasting, like constructing a building. God intended the miracles for people in the moment, and to teach us now.
