1. The Cana event is NOT a contravention of natural law.
It is, however, a clear example of non-natural causation.
Yes -- the difference is mostly words.

At one moment of time there were certain water molecules. At another
moment of time there were fewer water molecules and some alcohol
molecules. Some non-natural "assembly" was required.

2. I do not asset that God "must" do anything. I do assert that it is
quite possible, and, indeed, in my view probable, that He did, and does,
do things that way sometimes.
