Hello, welcome 
The idea of a miracle is a troubling subject, and it would generally come under the heading of supernatural causation. If this is to be attributing something "to God", then that somehow requires dispensing with every natural explanations there could possibly be, including those we have yet to think of. Since there is no direct way to demonstrate God was involved, this amounts to an argument from ignorance/incredulity. It's saying, "I can think of any other way this could happen except God!" or "If it's not God, what is it?" These may sound compelling, but they are not valid logical arguments. It is not necessary for me or anyone else to have an alternate explanation in order to point out the flaw in these arguments.
I explain why on my website and in a video, I'll post the links below:
