Since the majority of Scandinavians are reported to be nonbelievers, they believe neither in the accuracy of the Bible nor in miracles.
A:The assumption is that people have ever been able to perform miracles. Generally, the mainstream Christian religions assume that living persons do not now perform miracles. However, an important custom in the Catholic Church is the acknowledgement of posthumous miracles supposedly performed by saints, or at least performed as a result of their intercession. Reports of such miracles are constantly being reported, especially for candidates for canonisation.

The Bible does not say that life is a miracle, but the breath of life comes from God. (Genesis 2.7) There are many miracles reported in the Bible, and most done by Jesus, yet here is what the Bible says about them: John 12.37.

Approximately 5% of teenagers in the United States reported using drugs on a weekly basis according to a national survey conducted by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
There are a wide variety of beliefs in miracles throughout the Christian community. Many Christians believe that God worked miracles in ancient times directly or through the prophets, as reported in the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament,) as well as the miracles performed by Christs, Apostles and early disciples, recorded in the Christian Scriptures. Some churches teach that the Age of Miracles ended when the Bible came into use in the community of believers, and that there are no valid miracles occurring today. Other Christians believe and expect miracles to happen today, and are ready to "testify" to their experience of God's direct and miraculous intervention in their lives. Still other Christians are skeptical about all miracle stories, ancient and modern. They may be faithful believers, but find no need to believe in the supernatural in order to be followers of Jesus Christ.
At the time St. Nicholas of Myra was declared a saint, miracles were not required. However, he is reported to have saved a ship full of pilgrims when they were caught in a storm in the Mediterranean on its voyage to the Holy Land. He prayed that the storm cease and it did. There is also a legend that he brought three young boys back to life who had been murdered and stuffed into a barrel of brine.
Miracles, by definition, are not fake, but "a sensibly perceptible effect, surpassing at least the powers of visible nature, produced by God to witness to some truth or testify to someone's sanctity." (from Modern Catholic Dictionary) So if something is a genuine miracle, it is not fake. However, people throughout the ages, for one reason or another have tried to "fake" things to make them look like a miracle. These are frauds, not miracles, or there are things which are beyond our power to understand which are produced by the Evil One. A good example of the later would be the "miracles" produced by Rasputin.
