They didn't. A play on words from Yes Virginia:

DGN, your friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, DGN, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.

Yes, DGN, there are miracles. They exist as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no miracles. It would be as dreary as if there were no DGN's. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.

Not believe in miracles! You might as well not believe in prayer! The Bible tells us "ask" and you shall recieve. Whether two or more are gathered in my name. In the New Testament, "after" that which is complete has been completed. If you don't see a miracle, what does that prove? Not seeing a miracle doesn't mean there has been no miracle. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.

You may tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, DGN, miracles exist.

No miracles! Thank God they live, they live forever. A thousand years from now, DGN, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, they will continue to make glad the heart of mankind. If only man would notice.
 Quoting: Nine's


The miracles being spoken of are the one's spoken of in the Bible, which God empowered humans to perform, and which 1 Corinthians 3:1-3 said would be done away with. any speaking in tongues or so called healings today are not from a divine source, and when was the last time you witnessed a resurrection of a human from the dead? Those miracles are promised in the Bible, but yet in the near future. This is not to say in the mean time our lives are devoid of poetry, imagination and joys we each may have

Guess it would depend on your definition of miracle.

To me, speaking in tongues, faith healing, visions, etc. aren't miracles.

Thank you for your answer.
