no evidence of the contrary either. Indeed, when something is down entirely to 'interpretation', then it is illogical to dismiss other interpretations to that end.

Beliefs are irrelevant if we desire facts or evidence.

Science is not concerned with disproving the bible. It is merely concerned with the observable and testable reality which we inhabit. If the conclusions of those observations disprove a supposed 'miracle', then so be it.

No laws of nature are broken since natural laws assume only natural causation. You would have to disprove #2 (or show it is less probably than its opposite) below to use the miracle argument to disprove the Bible.
1. If God exists, miracles exist
2. God Exists
3. Therefore miracles exist.
Laconic reply of if.
Also, welcome.
