I will say, that that website bases proof of God's existence on the belief in miracles.

I'd say that there is a growing number of non traditional religious people who believe in a god, but do not give any credence to miracles.

I remember from a young age focusing on this point with my family debates, we 7, 5 kids/2 parents sat together and debated a lot of neat topics when our family moved to Canada.

I always found Miracles flakey and hard to accept, since we are now in a modern age where media can be anywhere/anytime.. So anyone claiming a miracle will face tough scrutiny and what we've seen the last 50-100yrs is a great deal of claims, zero proof.

But the ultimate argument is that miracles do not touch people without limbs, and this is the obvious flaw in that IF you do believe in a god miracles do not make sense.. If you don't believe in a god, well obviously miracles are not real.
