I say no. When some people get better, that is a scientific occurance. Ignoring the glaring inequalities between those with and without privilege makes someone evil. I have prayed for years for relief from my mental health issues, and no luck. If there is a deity, he only cares about the privileged one. He is a cold hearted *****, and I hate him for it. Back to miracles: There is no evidence for miracles, so why believe? Belief for the sake of belief is a delusion.

Nature sucks, but we can do better. One reason why science and religion have ended up in conflict is because of the implications of science, when it disproves wishful thinking. Expecting yourself or someone you love to be healed miraculously is wishful thinking, but it does little or nothing to solve the problem. Problems can only be solved through critical thought and meticulous planning, engineering, and scientific advancement.
Stars formed, planets coalesced, and on at least one of them life took root.
Through a long process of evolution this life developed into the human race.
Humans conquered fire, built complex societies and advanced technology .
All of that so we can argue about nothing.

There certainly is no "religious healing" in the sense of some divine power interfering and curing the believer, but there are many things we do not understand about human organism, and many documented healing instances which we cannot easily explain as of now.

***** . I have prayed for years for relief from my mental health issues, and no luck
Welcome to the club, I remember also praying and how totally ineffective it was , when I became Atheist it used to upset me watching decent people fell to their knees praying for a sick child or parent and getting told “ oh well god works in mysterious ways” when inevitably the praying didn’t work (I used to work in a hospital) .
Think also why would anyone want to worship a god that watched children and adults die the most appalling deaths in Nazi concentration camps and do nothing as he has “ a plan in mind” ? What possible “plan” would require the suffering and torture of children to make it “worthy”?
One has be be brainwashed or mentally unbalanced to believe in such yet @RickeyD and his brain dead buddy @TKDB believe that a proportion of new born infants fully deserve to be born with cancer as a just punishment for their ancestors rebelling against god , no doubt the pair would applaud god if one of their own kids was thus afflicted as their god can do no wrong.
You’re well out of this B S just look at Rick and TK to see how damaged one can become by accepting this into ones life

A final question: How is faith healing considered a miracle?
My answer: It is not as no law disproves it.

Just as being Religious oriented, is completely voluntary as well.
"Do faith healing miracles exist?"
I've not experienced a faith healing miracle myself.
So I'm going to wage a judgement against a faith healing miracle because of that reality.
But, in that same light, if someone does experience a faith healing miracle, why should others maybe pass a judgement, on a situation, that has ZERO to do with, those who don't live their lives a certain way?
Say as a hypothetical situation, I were to experience a faith healing miracle, it's no one else's business but my own.
Being that no non Religious individual, has any say over how I live my life, or that because I believe in Religious Freedom, and my belief isn't infringing, on any non religious individual, or that my view isn't infringing on a Religious Freedom seeking individual, as well?
Because I believe in being fair and equal.

I think it's possible that we have enough power to possibly cure ourselves of many things, or do things physically that we shouldn't be able to do. Someday, we may learn about those things. That said, "miracles" today are a stroke of luck until a scientific reason or theory can be found. I want "miracles" to happen, we could use some about now, but, to say they are caused by a "divine entity" is, …. well, I'll use a quote from a very intelligent person:
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." *Al Einstein*
