I'm not sure why you don't think I'm denying or not comprehending this, but none of what you quoted changes or refutes what I said. (of anything it reinforces it, with the "numerous" examples of faith healing failing.

Most religious people do believe that miracles and defying the odds can happen, but at the same time they'd know not to hope for a miracle of this caliber just because there's next to no precedent for it. Believing in the first place that your deity will defy all of human history and grant such miracles to anyone who asks, just suggests that you're not of sound mind. You can try to be a smartass if you want, but it won't change that.

This is like the joke about the guy who's drowning and waves off three boats, telling each that "God will save me". When he's dead and meets God, the man asks "God, why didn't you save me?" and God answers "Why do you think I sent the three ships that you waved off?"

Some people think that God only works in obvious logic-defying miracles. I think it's a lot like the quote from Futurama: "when you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all."
