This is actually a (badly) disguised argument from ignorance. The fact you cannot link something to your previous experience does not necessarily mean this something is supernatural or unexplicable or goddidit. It might mean that your experience is incomplete and that you need more study to explain that phenomenon.
Not to mention that all other religions have claimed miracles too, there are even accounts of "lame walking" and "blind seeing" at the temple of Apollo in Delphi. So should we deduce "from our experience" that Apollo is the author of such miracles? I don't think so.

"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."
