Are miracles possible in a world governed by natural laws?

“Miracles are not contrary to nature, but only contrary to what we know about nature.” Augustine

Ye of little faith should revisit our notes. You exist. God exists. God juices your existence, so can do whatever He likes within His artistry. Does He often avatar down to Earth to set an example for wayward spirits? No, as far as we know, but maybe he’ll do it again before ten sexdecillion more universes transpire, before somebody rolls fifty snake eyes. High science, with gritting teeth and chagrin, agrees completely. Those clouds of quantum probability that we touched, while our nerves searched for knowledge in Chapter 3, can do whatever they like, too. Any speck of subatomic reality can manifest wherever and however its whims suggest, along with all its miniscule cousins. There are no physical laws broken by miracles, only interrupted patterns. If crafty chance cares to construct a manger, wise men, angels, and a great savior in a diaper, it can. The odds are ludicrously small, of course, not entirely unlike our dice. Thus, we may continue with baby Jesus in one hand and dotted cubes in the other. Faith awaits our careful discernment.
