It depends on how you define natural? Rising from the dead is certainly not normal. How do you know that the Providential order does not include a means of resurrection that operates under His rational governance of reality?
If you think natural laws as defined by scientific study (i.e. our means of observing God's Creation) are a part of this Providential order, then I'd be surprised if we can't come to know of this method by now. Or do you mean that only God is able to perform such an action?
Quote:Personally I do not belief miracles upset the order of the universe. Instead I think they expand our notion of the possible.
But then if it's something "possible", then doesn't it follow that *we* can come to know of a way to repeat said miracle? But then, where's the miracle? It's an everyday occurrence. Is my heartbeat miraculous?
