How many miracles are there?

Jesus did many miracles in the bible, like turning water into wine and raising lazerus from the dead. the apostles did many miracles too, but the bible doesn't record all of the miracles that happened back then. in John 21:25, it says, "And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, i suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen." we can't do miracles now a days, because Jesus and the apostles aren't alive any more, but we can know that there were so many miracles that jesus and the apostles did, that even the world couldn't contain all the stories of them.

Why do people think miracles are fake?

miracles do exist, it just depends on the situation and your religion A large proportion of the world's population, probably a majority, believe that miracles do exist, yet you are asking why they don't. I cannot offer any definitive answers to religious issues, because everyone is entitled to their own religious beliefs. But if you choose to view the world in a non-religious manner, then you would seek scientific explanations for all events, and even though there would still be very surprising, or remarkable, or improbable events, they would all have scientific explanations and hence would not be classified as miracles (except in a purely metaphorical sense). You may have had another question in mind. Possibly you find it mysterious that there are so many miracles reported in the bible, and in the middle ages, yet none that hold up under examination in the 21st century. If that is your concern, I would merely suggest that we live in a more skeptical age.
