   reports of miracles as such are evidence for God, just as reports of   
   UFO's are evidence for UFO's, but since we don't KNOW if any reports are   
   accurate/false when they're made, ie. if there was actually any miracle   
   (or UFO) , they remain as evidence. however, should any report later be   
   shown/proven to be false, then there was no miracle in that case, and   
   that report ceases to be evidence for God.
