Deus Machina

 There's a conundrum that asks, "If a tree falls in the forest and there's no one to hear it, does it make a sound?"

A physicist would say "no" because there's no one there to prove there was a sound.
A philosopher would say "yes" because experience proves that falling trees make sounds. Besides the falling tree would make vibrations that would be heard and felt by animals and birds.

I don't know where you stand on this conundrum but it seems to me that the same situation happens when God sends a miracle.

If God gives someone a miracle and he doesn't know it, is it still a miracle?
