You want miracles to be reproduced in experiments? That's kind of the opposite of what a miracle is. A miracle is something that can't be reproduced in an experiment, but which actually happened. (There's a bit more to it than that - it's not just random chance - but a miracle isn't just "science that wasn't known at the time".)

Which is why they are fantasy. In order to "actually happen" there must be observable change. And despite mighty efforts there is no physical evidence that defies simpler and more reproduceable explanations.
