I'm guessing someone would come up with some naturalistic hypothesis that is "possible" and you would grab on to that no matter how improbable it is and, consequently, reject the explanation that "God did it!" If you assume from the start that there is no such thing as the supernatural or a miracle, you will never see any evidence of either.
I think the point was there there is no evidence (that I have ever seen/heard of) of amputees growing back limbs, and that all claimed 'miracles' turn out to be things that could have happened naturally.
Including the OP's ludicrous example of someone with dyslexia getting an A in GCSE English!
"It's a miracle!!"
They've probably omitted the countless hours spent by tutors in additional work, getting the pupil up to examinable standards.
