The feeding of five thousand + by Jesus using only five loaves of bread and two fishes!
The problem here for skeptics is HOW could it be done, and IS THERE PROOF it ever happened!
The problem with their problem is clear, no matter how much proof is presented, no matter how many people saw it happen a skeptic will be skeptical. The issue is simply a straw man set up to divert us from proof that they CAN’T explain away!

Mark 6 says:
35And when [a]the day was already far gone, His disciples came to Him and said, This is a desolate and isolated place, and the hour is now late.
36Send the crowds away to go into the country and villages round about and buy themselves something to eat.
37But He replied to them, Give them something to eat yourselves. And they said to Him, Shall we go and buy 200 [b]denarii [about forty dollars] worth of bread and give it to them to eat? [II Kings 4:42-44.]
38And He said to them, How many loaves do you have? Go and see. And when they [had looked and] knew, they said, Five [loaves] and two fish.
39Then He commanded the people all to recline on the green grass by companies.
40So they threw themselves down in ranks of hundreds and fifties [with the [c]regularity of an arrangement of beds of herbs, looking [d]like so many garden plots].
41And taking the five loaves and two fish, He looked up to heaven and, praising God, gave thanks and broke the loaves and kept on http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=theope-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=0830828079&fc1=000000&IS2=1<1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifrgiving them to the disciples to set before the people; and He [also] divided the two fish among [them] all.
42And they all ate and were satisfied.
43And they took up twelve [[e]small hand] baskets full of broken pieces [from the loaves] and of the fish.
44And those who ate the loaves were 5,000 men. {Add to this the Women and the Children average and the number is staggering}
“A miracle is “a transgression of a law of nature by a particular volition of the Deity, or by the interposition of some invisible agent” (Hume, 123n). However, these days people use the term much more loosely to mean something like “against all odds.” The rest of this article is not about people who call themselves or their experiences miracles because the odds seemed stacked against them. Here we will discuss miracle in the theological sense.”

Not everything hard to believe can be quantified as a miracle according to scriptural standards. Miracles are those acts that only God can perform; usually superseding natural laws.
Does something have to break a natural law for it to be a miracle?
Nature and “super-nature” become interlocked after a miracle occurs and nature carries on according to the change wrought by that event, in other words God’s creation ALLOWS for Miracles to happen and makes a change to fall into line with God’s will.
