Why Don't We Get Miracles (Like They Had in Bible Days)?

One of the many questions I have about the Bible (and for the believing believers who believe in it) concerns miracles. The wonders of the Biblical "record" - the creation, the flood, the tower of Babel, the ten plagues  the miracles of Jesus, etc.- make for great stories and Hollywood extravaganzas. But if you believe they really happened, then at some point you have to ask yourself why God, if such shows of power and authority were so important to him in Biblical times, doesn't continue to wield such creative might in the world today?

At least I've often found myself asking that question.

And here, I ask it again, through lyrics and melody. Why don't we get miracles, like they did in Bible days?
