How is the occurrence of a supernatural (or not natural) event different from a suspension of the laws of physics?
I think he means that the event itself might be within the laws of physics (eg, someone spontaneously recovering from cancer), but the driving force itself behind the event exists outside of/above nature. My question would be, how do we distinguish if a cause is supernatural, not so much the event itself.
