      Gurmat teaches us to understand and follow the Hukam of Akal Purkh. Laws of nature cannot be changed. We have to understand and follow them.
      Miracles are unnatural happenings which have neither any place in Sikhism and nor any place in science.

      Sikhs neither chase/seek miraculous powers (Ridhi-Sidhi) nor use them in case they get it. Sikhs live in the Hukam.
      It doesn’t mean miracles can’t happen.
      ਪ੍ਰਭ ਭਾਵੈ ਤਾ ਪਾਥਰ ਤਰਾਵੈ ॥ਪ੍ਰਭ ਭਾਵੈ ਬਿਨੁ ਸਾਸ ਤੇ ਰਾਖੈ ॥
      Those who believe God is Almighty and the creator of everything (including science) can never question the capability of God. If you do, you are just being a hypocrite.
      From the verse, ਆਪਿ ਨਾਥੁ ਨਾਥੀ ਸਭ ਜਾ ਕੀ ਰਿਧਿ ਸਿਧਿ ਅਵਰਾ ਸਾਦ ॥ It is evident that Ridhi-Sidhi does exist.

      Sikhi is a philosophy that promotes a life of a SACHIAR which means living in HUKAM, laws of the Creation.
      Miracles, if any, are meant to perform unnatural acts. Which is not in line with the laws of HUKAM or NAAMU. Which would be contradiction to the Sikhi philosophy.

      Guru Nanak Sahib states,
      ਆਪਿ ਨਾਥੁ ਨਾਥੀ ਸਭ ਜਾ ਕੀ ਰਿਧਿ ਸਿਧਿ ਅਵਰਾ ਸਾਦ ॥(ਮ:੧, ਪੰ:੬)
      (ੴ is the Master, all are Its subservients, and the RIDHIAN, SIDHIAN (miracles) are some one elses works, which implies Sikhi does not beleive in miracles.
