What makes you think that those things aren't happening? Just to pick the 2 easiest coming back from the dead and curing the blind I'd say these things happen on a pretty regular basis. As for the others... just because you don't see it on CNN doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
What makes me think these things arent happening, is the fact that they dont happen. You and people like you would play this game where you call living through a terrible car accident a miracle, or a man comes out of a coma after 10 years is a miracle.
Assuming i believed in that (which i obviously dont), you would have to assume those minor miracles were also happening in the time of Jesus and Moses too, but im not talking about those miracles. What im talking about are major miracles, where men part oceans in order to help thousands of people escape an enemy military force. THOSE are the miracles that only seem to exist back in a time when history couldnt prove or disprove the claims,; when there were no cameras around to document it.
The bible is full of stories like that, and while i live on the same planet that god supposedly created and controls, that bible world is like a world you might find in a science fiction novel, and it doesnt sound anything like the world i live in. None of that stuff happens, ever.
On a side note, i think its very strange that god had no problems with divine intervention when Moses and his people were in danger, yet he wont do something similar to stop genocides in Darfur, or the killing of millions of jews during WW2. I guess this is the inevitable part where you tell me god works in mysterious ways.
