Why do Atheists require miracles to be "scientifically verified" before proven true? Does this even make sense?

What do you know of religion and science? YOU ARE A MARTIAN!

Miracles do not exist. There is an explanation for everything. Though our technology may not be advanced enough at the moment to test such out-of-the-ordinary phenomenon under laboratory conditions, there is a strong probability that future generations will not only have figured out the solution to said problem, and how to test said problem under laboratory conditions, they may even be laughing at our ignorance. We may think we are advanced, we may think we know everything, but so did previous generations that existed thousands upon thousands of years ago. However, we now know the world is not flat, the earth is not the center of the universe, the sun is not a god, diseases are not caused by demons, among many other things, thanks to developments in technology of course.

By "scientifically verified", we mean:

Valid evidence that it happened.

Valid evidence that what happened is actually what people claim happened

Valid evidence that what happened could not have happened via any known natural process

Valid evidence that what happened was not the result of deliberate deceit

edit: the Vatican has only declared one weeping statue to be "genuine"--Our Lady of Akita, in Japan. There was NO scientific study of the statue at all--it was all done purely on the supposed eyewitness testimony of the bishop. Every single weeping or bleeding statue that has undergone real scientific study has been rejected as fake.

To become Canonized the church requires verification of a miracle occurring within a persons life time.

Miracles are mans interpretation or misinterpretation of events they can/do not explain.

Out of the ordinary does not a "miracle" make.

Why do "christians" rationalize their lack of understanding by making events miracles? Remember it is man making these distinctions not "god".

There's no other way to prove it for what it is.

You can't just pour ketchup on a statue and tell someone it's bleeding. You can't expect the entire world to fall to the ground and worship a pastry because it has some vague resemblance to a face.

"Miracles" are only miracles to those who want to believe in them. For the rest of us, there's a logical explanation waiting to be found.

edit: they have yet to prove that it's blood. It's not a miracle.

Even if it does turn out that it's blood, they would further have to prove that it's coming from the statue and not some other source.

Most atheist like myself isn't demanding miracles to be proven scientifically since by definition, miracles cannot be proven.

We are simply saying that it is unreasonable for any being to demand us to believe in sometime that cannot be explained or proven. Similarly, a lot of us find it illogical for people to accept 'God did it!' as an answer without questioning it.

Miracles by definition are of the supernatural, i.e. outside of the natural realm. Therefore they do not exist in reality.

Those things that are commonly and mistakenly seen as miracles are simply events for which we have no explanation as yet. Many alleged miracles have already been shown to have natural explanations.

There is one miracle that atheists don't ask to be scientifically verified. That is their belief in a (magical) NATURAL first cause of the universe, which defies the Law of Cause and effect and all other natural laws.

So they are willing to believe in the biggest miracle ever, without question or evidence, but they demand mountains of evidence for any relatively minor, miraculous event.

Incredible!

When a person is clinically (by Scientific methods) confirmed to be an amputee, and if a divine being could grow his limbs back, then it could be proven that it was indeed a miracle as it is impossible to grow back a limb naturally.

When a dead person is clinically proven to be dead (to prevent scams and self-testimony) and if after few days of being dead, he could be miraculously brought back to life by some divine force, that would be considered "Scientifically verified".

Yes, because if it's " 'scientifically verified' (repeatable outcomes)", then it is explainable and thus not a miracle.

i guess it depends on your definition of a miracle. everyday events could be miracles, like the birth of a child or the birth of a star in the sky. take prayer for example, if i pray to my cat and you pray to any god of your choosing we will both get what we pray for in the expected amount of time... example: we both pray for the mailman to deliver some mail or we pray to win the lottery, in either case we cant expect these events to happen sooner just because we pray for it. no miracles have ever happened and if you can give an example of one id love to hear about it.
