assuming things are true until disproven is not good science, rather assume things are false until proven true.

It would seem to go fine under Philosophy ?
I am not totally illiterate, but my formal training in philosophy is not that extensive.

Assuming something is true "because it has not been disproven" is pretty awful, whether you're talking about science, math, philosophy, or just about anything else.
As for your statement, I tend to agree. But the exact meaning of the word miracle is so varied within the English language that your statement doesn't really hold any weight, or have any usefulness.
Maybe what you could say instead is that people tend to overlook the extraordinary, even when it's sitting right in front of them. The most amazing things occur every day and most people don't even notice. We would probably be better off if we spent more time appreciating some of the wonderful things in this life, for example human thought.
