Miracle
[ QUOTE ]
Suppose this headline [appears] tomorrow with the following story:
[ QUOTE ]
Overnight every single human being on the planet who had lost an appendage, finger, toe, leg, arm, whatever, awoke to discover that all had been fully restored and are completely functional. Scientists and theologians alike are dumbfounded.

Would this do any more for people like DS than convince them that the nerdy kid in Dimension #197a had been playing with his new toy, call in a Nimbus 2000 dimensionalizer and universator? He found the button that regrows human legs, etc.
[/ QUOTE ]Your example of an atheism-refuting miracle is appropriate. I, for one, would be convinced, that there is someone/something behind the curtain, after all.
Since we have zero precedent or allegations about the nerdy kid version (besides jokes and speculations), whilst we do have allegations and claims stubbornly supported and handed down to us by our ancestors, i.e. the proper God versions, it would be more likely that a proper God is at work rather than the nerdy kid.
Now, why would the miracle have to be the work of the Christian God and not some other, out-of-fashion deity, such as Zoroastre ?
