As we're discussing miracles in the context of Christianity may I raise the interesting point that Protestants stopped believing in miracles occurring after Biblical times whilst Catholics didn't. So, which side is right? For someone to be canonised, I believe that the Catholic church requires at least 2 proven miracles.
