Why are the actions of God limited to things that would probably have happened anyway?

It seems that miracles have been on the decrease in recent centuries. Is God getting weaker?

Update:

David, why is it that when I start to research the "Miracles and Signs" on that website, itcomes to light that they were hoaxes or nothing at all?

That pesky science getting in the way again.

    You present no evidence.

    God's work in my life has been transforming

    Why the silly reference to science?

    Professors Sir John Houghton, Sir Ghillean Prance,Bob White,

    Colin Humphreys CBE and many others see no conflict.

    A little study may not come amiss

    I think the fact that we are still on this planet more than 60 years after the invention of nuclear weapons is a miracle.

    It seems the omnipotent God must be camera shy since almost everyone on Earth either has a camera phone or rarely more than 30 seconds from finding one.

    They really aren't. Everything that happens in relationship to the physical universe, has to relate with the physical universe. There is always going to be a way to explain away a Miracle if that's what you want to do, but that doesn't mean it really all could have really happened another way. It was always like that. even concerning the more profound miracles you might read about in the Bible. Truth is, its always been that the very most of Miracles seamlessly happen in the seemed flow of natural events. God is most certainly not getting weaker, He's never really changed much, if it can even be said He ever did change even at all. Experiencing more profound things, is now, and always has been, more reserved toward the lives of the people in who's lives will allow God to prepare them with the understanding to be able to handle them. Not because they are special in any way, but just simply because God can do them in a person's life without the longer range results harming or killing them as a result of what they are not prepared to adequately handle. Most of the Miracles that have happened in my life are just like you would think. They are things that could very easily be explained away. There are just too many of them to explain away. Some things have been by far more profound, but none of them are something you couldn't not believe me about or offer at least some alternate explanation. It might in all reality be an entirely ridiculous explanation, but it might not seem as such, to you. The acts of God in my life are as common as conversation with a family member. As quick as I can ask a question in prayer, events will happen resulting to answer my questions in detailed precision. Its quite literally like holding a conversation, even when its not a conversation, but deeds. My prayer almost never don't get answered to the exact effect of what I asked for, and in an extremely timely fashion. Most atheists that could withstand to stay in my company long enough( they certainly would not like or be comfortable with how freely I accept things as God having a role in matters), would find it extremely hard to remain an atheist, if they accompanied me enough throughout my days. Not because they couldn't explain things away, but because they would get exhausted at having to endlessly continue to explain them away. Far stranger than the Miraculous is human thinking and behavior as it would associate to the Miraculous. Reactions can range from being completely oblivious, to alternate explanations that it would just simply make more the logical sense to just acknowledge the actual truth concerning them. However, atheists or theists alike can offer alternative explanations that are beyond marvel for their insanity. People seriously freak out and think and do some totally wacky things when something brings them to far outside the usual frame of how they see existence to be. They can even sometimes flat out deny what they even flat out know they have seen and experienced. It can literally utterly terrify them to break with their own system of how they have chosen to see things, even to the point they even know they saw what they saw, but the will tell you something like "No, I did not just see that man walk across the top of his swimming pool at this family pick nick, no i did not. Let me get back to eating my potato salad.", and they can literally even continue to go about their lives, like it just never happened. You might even think that impossible, but its not. It can scare them that much to break from how they choose to see existence. Something like that can be so contrary to how a person chooses to think that they could be looking straight at the event, and not even see it. Like, "Did he just, nah, that just couldn't be. Let me get back to eating my potato salad". When you tell people you believe in miracles they call you a fool. When you say you experienced one they think you're nuts. If you show them one they might even say you are something evil. If it doesn't jive with how they want to see life. I've been all kinds of stupid, crazy, and evil in peoples minds and say throughout this life. Its really no big deal to me or anything new or for shock value at all, if you think I am, too. However, I can only testify of that I have plainly seen. God is still every bit as Almighty as He ever was, every single day of my life. He's really "All Good", too. I would agree with you if you think people are all too easily impressed upon, though. God isn't the only thing around doing spiritual things, and they aren't even all so genuinely spiritual, either.. The devil uses the realm on the 5 human senses. In other words, usual stuff, to make lies look like things of God, and.or to persuade people out of genuine things about God.. See it however you want. Its what you are going to do, anyway.
