Note that I'm not saying that AG is not the Word of God or God, as that would be a claim that I'd have to defend. I am merely asking for Evidence, Please?
Let me ask you a question in turn: what evidence could be sufficient to back up the assertion? If I did something miraculous, the probability that all witnesses are mistaken about the miraculous nature of the action would still likely be higher than the probability that the miracle occurred even if it did.
That's right, demanding for empirical evidence and gaining it, in cases such as miracles, would be tricky, if only experimental verified evidence is accepted within scientific skepticism, and if one truly happens, the fact that it could never be verified within empiricism, is problematic and it couldn't really been stated to be actually proven, given that, even if it was real. At the same time, there is the other problem of making a distinction between illusion and what is considered to be reality.
If one skeptic who demands for a miracle happens to get one, something that seems impossible, like regeneration of a tissue, or even organ or something similar, likely he would change his mind, but given that it would be something that science would be unable to confirm following their own guidelines, I could say his claim would not be taken with credibility in official terms and being taken as unreliable source of information, perhaps a good number of different hypothesis trying to explain the phenomena.

I imagine how much fun it would be watching my own creations struggle with the mystery.
