There are still big miracles happening in the world, however they don't get as much recognition, and they don't happen very often. There were very few big theatrical miracles like the ones you were describing back in biblical times too. The ones that did occur before and after Jesus' 30 some years of life were often hundreds of years apart. However these miracles are so well known because the Bible is a huge part of our culture.

I mean an actual miracle. Something unexplainable by natural science. Something that is undeniably caused by a supernatural force.

That's what science is. Nit picking every single piece(though not out of context) and making sure it can all be explained by natural science.
