Can anyone explain why that is?
Most supernatural events are not taken seriously by Christians, only those that are Biblical. We know a great deal about why other cultures had supernatural events (often brought on by altered states of consciousness), those in the Bible are a little more consistent.

Personally though, I do know people who have had physical healing through the power of prayer - something readily dismissed by critics. There are others that I've been told about from first-hand accounts, but I'm inherently a sceptic at heart and don't trust things told to me by others, so I really only believe the people I know and trust who were themselves healed. I can see why you would dismiss stories told to you as well (I do the same, regardless of whether they're actually true or not). Your view might change if you ever know someone personally who is healed through prayer. This isn't an attack on medicine, I'm not a scientologist after all!
