The same guy who, allegedly, talked to Abraham, wrote stone tablets, brought a great flood upon the whole world, made a woman pregnant, gave sight back to some people, cured lepers, revived people.... yet... "can't be physically detected"?
I smell a rat...
You could detect a miracle sure but there would be no way to know it was God, midicholrians/the Force, a member of the Q Continuum from Star Trek or Satan playing a prank. So that still wouldn't prove Gods existence. As to whether miracles or strange unexplained things happen, things that would go beyond our conventional understanding I'd say there is quite a lot of material to suggest they do happen. I don't mean just "the Bible" but in general.

It's just your own opinion there's no logic to it. We can't prove a lot of things exist currently like say life on other worlds. I'd suggest there most likely is.

Can't be true in your own opinion isn't the same thing as can't be true in general. Unless you have some kind logic or reasoning to back yourself up with but you don't seem to have any. Can we just say you have a belief?
Come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant.
