   you would have done much better to just stick with what I said

   this is how it works.   
      
   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. this really is basic stuff   
   for anyone with common sense.
