seem to my recall that all the miracles occur only when a major prophet ie Moses , or Jesus is about to "channel" the miracles . No major holy personage no miracle ... unless you count faces in buns/potatoes/oil slicks as miracles .
ok there are a few , mainly healing miracles linked to shrines / statues ect .. but all the major suffer need at least a "saintly" figure
the lack of these would seem to be the limiting factor .
the church's (plc) seem to have stopped producing them , and no new prophets stepped up lately .
As to why , may be its a change in direction from gods marketing people , as you say its easy to belive when you see a major body of water split in half .. may be today its more about faith than belief .

jsut a though here , do not all the miracles seem to occur at the founding of a prophets new "church" ie Moses leading the jews to a new land with a new covenant , and the same with Jesus ..,
are miracles being used not to create belief , but to direct that belief down a new path / church /covenant , they are the "authentication " of the prophet and the new message .
compare the miracles of Moses , and Jesus and how they suit the needs of the prophet to achive their tasks .
