Miracles Are Obsolete in 21st Century
-
Haven't you already established that the Reading is 100% Completely Inspired by the Creator? I don't understand your unwillingness to believe the stories that are inspired by the Creator if you have already established that they were inspired by the Creator? Like you said, if a friend came to me saying that they did something miraculous with the help of God, I'm not going to repeat that to everyone I know and believe it to be true. However, my friend is not God, so if God says something then it is absolutely true, if you have already established that the Reading is from God. However, correct me if I'm wrong but I'm going to deduce that your logic for not defending the stories found in the Reading is that the God has told us not to accept any information without verifying it, and not to "pursue" that which we have no knowledge. Yet how can you accept part of the Reading and reject another part? Let me ask you, ARE you even rejecting? Or are you simply saying that these stories are metaphors? And if they are metaphors, do you have extremely convincing evidence, since the God has not explicitly stated that they were metaphors?
Since I've heard so much about the stick turning into a snake, look what happened to those Brethren of Israel even after they saw the sea split in front of their eyes and the stick turn into a snake
287 Moses went to you with profound miracles, yet you worshiped the calf in his absence, and you turned wicked.
What does God mean by that? Isn't God suggesting that even after all those miracles that the Children of Israel saw, they turned wicked.
HENCE, Miracles do not help. They are there to augment the faithful and yet sometimes that still does not happen.
2118 Those who possess no knowledge say, 'If only GOD could speak to us, or some miracle could come to us!' Others before them have uttered similar utterances; their minds are similar. We do manifest the miracles for those who have attained certainty.
You can take this two ways. Either to help your case that miracles do not exist. Or, since it is in the present tense and revealed to Muhammad's followers in the 7th century and there were no miracles performed by Muhammad, then this verse can help us explain WHY MIRACLES DO NOT EXIST. I completely agree that miracles DO NOT exist. That is, in the present tense, DO NOT. Miracles ended with Jesus. End of story. We are now in an age where miracles have been eradicated.

Ask the Children of Israel how many profound miracles have we shown them!1759
What stopped us from sending the miracles is that the previous generations have rejected them. For example, we showed Thamoud the camel, a profound (miracle), but they transgressed against it. We sent the miracles only to instill reverence.Why did the previous generations before Muhammad even during Jesus time (not all during Jesus' time believed in his miracles) and before that DEMAND miracles?
6109 They swore by GOD, solemnly, that if a miracle came to them, they would surely believe. Say, 'Miracles come only from GOD.' For all you know, if a miracle did come to them, they would continue to disbelieve.
These are only a few examples of the many times God describes his reasoning for not sending down any miracles any more. Muhammad did not even have any miracles to show his people. Besides, if God did want to send a miracle, who would he send the miracle down with? Throughout the Qur'an, miracles are virtually sent down with a Nabi. Where is the Nabi for the 21st Century? Even if there was a Nabi or a Rasool for our time he most assuredly wouldn't bring down any miracles with him. The bringer of the Healing, the book that will save all of humanity and bring it to the path of righteousness, did not bring with him anything except the Reading. Reflect.
