<blockquote>If they don't break the laws, then...they're not miracles, are they?... If there is a God who created the natural laws of the universe, surely he is also capable of suspending the rules when he finds it worthwhile to do so?</blockquote> Agreed. The idea that God could tinker with quantum physics without our knowing is interesting, but parting the Red Sea would still require a suspension of nature's laws. And as a Christian, I don't see any logical problem with that. A God who created the universe from nothing would be no more bound by its laws than a writer is bound by the rules of poetry. It's understandable that scientists balk at supernatural explanations - they fall outside of the scientific method of investigation. It's the same reason that "God created that evidence" won't help you in court; it's an assertion that can't be proved or disproved and therefore must be disregarded. A scientist would attempt to explain miracles by natural, observable causes, because that is the method of science. But - interestingly - the supernatural explanation could still be the true one. If God exists, He may not care to sit on our examination table.
