However, if someone were to drop an apple and I were to reach over and grab it before it hit the ground, I wouldn’t be overturning the law of gravity. I would simply be intervening. In a similar way, God is able to reach into the world that he created by performing a miracle. He isn’t contravening or overturning the laws of nature. He’s simply intervening” - J.P. MorelandNah rubbish. The physical material world empirically always works through the cause and effect inetraction of material things with one another. To propose that a supernatural being could enter this realm and intervene as you suggest would assert that there is a whole new undiscovered mechnaism at work. You catching and apple is not an unknown effect and therefore this analogy fails.
