I don't know about anyone else, but I personally wouldn't say that the NT is not true because of its miracle claims. Rather, miracles are implausible, and the miracle claims made in the NT seem to serve a theological agenda, so that makes some parts of the NT suspect.
I think all of the NT miracles had a specific purpose. Some were big, purposeful (had context, taught lessons, proved a point), witnessed (many by large groups), and had theological significance (backed up Jesus' claim to be God, means of redemption).
"I think..."
Great. Opinion time.
I don't believe you. Get over it.
