I have been at different times an anarchist, a socialist and a liberal. Nothing against liberals.
I know what laws of nature you are referring to, can you prove that any such laws of nature exist? Obviously the definition that you posted provides the internal logic to make the statement self contradictory - it is foolish to believe in miracles because miracles are against the laws of nature.
Do you think it is hilarious that I am asking you to prove that there are any such "laws of nature" that exist as metaphysical absolutes? You know that people used to think Newton's laws referred to deterministic mathematical laws in the physical world, and then people discovered that they didn't. Newtons theories have since been replaced and are not longer seen as absolutes in the physical world.
I bet you $100 you have never heard of the realism/anti realism debate, even though it is among the more important debates in the philosophy world and it is relevant. You will probably say I am a fucking idiot for bringing it up.

No, my argument doesn't rely on the exact wording of the dictionary, and yes they are still interchangeable. It all comes down the same ballpark and the burden of proof still rests on your shoulders.
