Well I wouldn't see coincidences as miraculous evidence. If you see it as evidence then I don't know what I could do to convince you otherwise. Why don't you think that they're coincidences when such extraordinary things require extraordinary evidence?
I don't value pride either, but I see selfishness and selflessness as both important. It's important to value both oneself and others.
It just sounds like confirmation bias again. Counting the hits, ignoring the misses, or making subjective rationalizations.
