I stand fully corrected. I should have phrased it "I don't believe God is
engaging in miracle here" Everything we see is from God so in that sense
everything is a miracle. I was using the terminology loosely.
I do believe that many of the mechanisms are quit deeply buried in time,
space and structure. This is why God was able to lay the crucifixion into
the foundations of the universer itself.
