Nor do miracles do a damn thing to prove the existence of a god.
They are simply weird occurrences. Invoking something even weirder
to "explain" them, without showing *how* its existence would explain
them, is not very impressive logic.
One place I heard that argument was from someone who'd trained as
a theologian in a an academic Christian institution. His professor
said "what has rising from the dead got to do with divinity?" - so
not even intelligent theists find this miracle stuff convincing.
