We have /his/torical proof of miracles even bigger than those. At the Temple in Jerusalem especially. The most recent known are reported by
powerful convergence of eight early sources, some citing eyewitnesses and even physical evidence, report clearly miraculous fire and a star like a cross that marked clothes with its energy halting Emperor Julian's plan to rebuild the Jewish Temple in 363 AD.They report that the Temple couldn't be built by the Pagans and Jews because flames burst from its foundations when they tried, and there was a star or other object in the sky like a cross that both marked and astonished the workmen.Ammianus Marcellinus. You can read his account here: https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A2007.01.0082%3Abook%3D23%3Achapter%3D1%3Asection%3D3. He was a non-Christian and a contemporary of Julian the Apostate. He wrote:"terrifying balls of flame kept bursting forth near the foundations of the temple, and made the place inaccessible to the workmen, some of whom were burned to death; and since in this way the element persistently repelled them, the enterprise halted"And Gregory Nazianzen, who knew Emperor Julian personally, wrote just months after the event according to https://www.tertullian.org/fathers/gregory_nazianzen_3_oration5.htm:
"But what is yet more strange and more conspicuous, there stood in the heavens a light circumscribing a Cross...Let those who were spectators and partakers of that prodigy exhibit their garments, which to the present time are stamped with the brandmarks of the Cross! For at the very moment that anyone, either of our own brethren or of the outsiders, was telling the event or hearing it told by others, he beheld the miracle happening in his own case or to his neighbour, being all spotted with stars, or beholding the other so marked upon his clothes in a manner more variegated than could be done by any artificial work of the loom or elaborate painting”.
