They're not feasible because virgins don't give birth to babies, and basic laws of buoyancy do not allow humans to walk on water. There's no reason to take these myths any more seriously than lightning bolts coming from the hand of Zeus, which we also know to not occur in nature. If there's an omnipotent God that comes in and tampers with the laws of physics, he seems to have taken a vacation because I don't see the laws of physics being broken anywhere. If God does indeed intervene in the natural world, as you claim, then the universe does not operate predictably according to the laws of physics. And yet everywhere we go, everything we experience in our lives does operate predictably according to the laws of physics.

Is it really that much of a stretch to claim that there is no loving God interfering in our world? It's pretty plainly clear. Tragedies happen all the time, and no giant invisible hands come in and make things all right. Any loving God would have known exactly how to prevent 9/11 or the Holocaust, and would have the decency and basic respect to do so, yet they happened. Babies are born with birth defects, families starve, dictators reign, suicide bombers blow themselves up, and AIDS ravages Africa. This is the best that omnipotence and omniscience could come up with in 15 billion years? I find that a little hard to believe. The best miracles God could come up with were a virgin birth and a dude walking on water and healing a few sick people he happened to come across? The miracles were only amazing enough to convince a tiny fraction of a percent of humanity that he was the real deal by the time he died. I have a feeling an omnipotent, omniscient deity could do a better job of convincing people than that. I also have a feeling he wouldn't be so racist as to only provide a messiah to his chosen race.
