And here's an example of that, too:

Say you go to hawaii, and you find this group of people who, by praying 
to Pele (the volcano goddess), can *actually* regenerate amputated 
limbs. No scientific explanation is forthcoming, but anyone who has lost 
a limb can go there, get three people to pray in a circle, and his limb 
will grow back all by itself within a month.

Show this to a faithful Christian. What is he going to say?  "Gee, maybe 
Pele really exists, and answers prayers better than JHVH does?" Or is it 
going to be interpreted as a conspiracy by Satan to lure faithful 
Christians away from their One True Religion?

I'd be interested in hearing what someone here who considers themselves 
a faithful Christian would answer to that.

     It's not feature creep if you put it
     at the end and adjust the release date.
