Another answer from our community:
I would start with a preliminary definition. A miracle is: a striking and religiously significant intervention of God in the system of natural causes. Note two things here: (1) the concept of miracles presupposes, rather than sets aside, the idea that nature is a self contained system of natural causes. Unless there are regularities, there can be no exception to them. (2) A miracle is not a contradiction. A man walking through a wall is a miracle. A man both walking and not walking through a wall at the same time and in the same respect is a contradiction. God can perform miracles but not contradictions-not because His power is limited, but because contradictions are meaningless.
This analysis raises two important questions to consider regarding miracles. (1) Are miracles possible?-from the historical question-Are miracles actual? Has there ever really been such an intervention? The answer to the second question requires a knowledge of events in history. It also requires not philosophical, but historical investigation. What the believer and the philosopher can do is argue for the possibility of miracles. For nearly all those people who deny that miracles have actually happened have done so to prove that miracles cannot happen.
Obviously, you cannot believe miracles have happened without believing that a miracle worker exists. Thus all who believe in miracles believe in some kind of God. But not everyone who believes in God believes in miracles. If there is a God, miracles are possible. That is how I would analyse miracles.

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.
