Why? Jesus performed wonders before crowds and so did Paul. God is concerned with helping people. I do not think he is so concerned whether or not it is in front of people. What has steel rings or spoon bending go to do with helping people?
Because that is the equivalent of leg lengthening. If some feat of legerdemain is a well known crowd pleaser, why would God choose to use THAT as a proof if the miraculous? It would be like God giving one of his "ministers" the gift of sawing a woman in half.
John 20:29 KJV Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
Hebrews 11:6 KJV But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Are we supposed to believe every purported miracle?

In fact, you are not suppose to believe anything. Don't become distracted. Keep your focus. Look to neither the right or the left. Stop up your ears. Close your eyes. You can only be hurt by reality.
But, if you are really adventurous you might try believing the Word of God....speaking of some really weird stuff.

...or maybe like pulling a rabbit out of a hat...right?
Way to go! That's a REAL trick! Helps everyone.
Listen to this testimony:
"I saw Brother Jones pull a rabbit out of a hat and I was cured of diabetes."
NOW THERE'S A REAL FAITH BUILDER! FOR SURE!

People who criticize the supernatural are people who have never seen the supernatural.
Also...
It is guaranteed that they will NEVER! God is not out trying to impress the cynic. Cynicism is a disease of the soul that God will not cure. There are some things that God will not do. That is one of them.

I've said it before and I'll say it again if God does anything for anybody anywhere,I'm thankful for it.

I believe everything God has ever told me.

Autopsies can be forged and stories can be made up. This would not be the first time something like this happened, and it will not be the last. As AB said, the world hates the ministry, and even some 'believers' hate the ministry, especially when the ministry does not fit into what their mold says. God uses whom He wants how He wants.
AA Allen was a man of faith and God used him mightily. I will leave it as that. The nonsense, the attacks on his person, the hatred against him, I simply ignore. Stories and lies like this should be ignored in the light of how the Lord did use the man.
Well, you're making a pretty harsh condemnation of someone you never knew (the San Francisco County Medical Examiner in 1970). Don't you feel any shame for coming right out and calling this man a "liar?"
