If you locked all species into pens, evolution would progress in a slightly different manner. Would you give predators access to prey on a time-slot basis? What about diseases, which can out-evolve any of us?
Of course, if you believe that God created everything then the existence of trees, plants, diesel oil and marshmallows are all evidence of God; however, they could all be evidence of something else. In the end, the only important miracles take place inside people's heads; the only pattern you can discover in the gospel to Jesus's willingness to perform miracles (or unwillingness to perform like a trick monkey with @signs@) is that the recipients of the miracles really needed them -- they aren't supposed to be some kind of proof ....
