What would You say to atheists who ask for a direct miracle as a proof for existence of God?

Jesus did several miracles directly in the presence of public. But still He was crucified. Generally, miracles are misinterpreted as magic or as events that might have happened in a routine way based on probability. Even today, there are several people, who perform miracles. God has given the power of performing miracles to even devilish people because a miracle is the fundamental experiment to establish the concept of unimaginable nature of the unimaginable God and hence, needs a wide propagation. Even today, we have a clear demonstration of miracles by Bhagavan Shri Sathya Sai Baba. Several scientists have studied Him closely and accepted the genuine reality of His miracles. But some atheists with conservative minds misinterpret these miracles as magic. Of course, magic also exists separately. If there is cheating in one particular examination hall, it does not mean the entire system of examination itself is wrong and that it should be condemned. Even though Lord Krishna gave the vision of God’s Cosmic Form (Vishwarupa) and the Kauravas fell unconscious, they concluded that it was only magic. In every religion, the conservative lot is present and so also in the ‘religion’ of atheism. They pose to be scientists.

The basic characteristic of a scientist is to have an open mind towards everything and to analyze deeply before making conclusions. If the desired conclusion is not obtained, they even accept the concept of hypothesis, which is the available possible theory, until it is disproved. Some of them say that they will analyze the miracle the day after tomorrow, since today they have successfully analyzed the unimaginable event of yesterday. They forget that the yesterday and today were very near to each other and tomorrow is far off. Today, by jumping high you touched the top of the door. By some practice, you might touch the roof of the house by tomorrow. The top of the door and roof of the house are very near to each other. But you should not pose that you will touch the sky the day after tomorrow. All this is due to conservatism, ego and jealousy towards a co-human form in which God exists.
