You forgot to include the nature of God to keep belief in him a choice. There has never been validatable proof for this very reason. If miracles can be observed they can only be verified by the individual and believers and never outside that. It's frustrating for you but that's the truth of it.
Have you ever heard of a self-fulfilling prophecy?
