You missed my point. Go read the note again. I said that all we could do
as scientists was look at a set of facts and say that they are or are not
consistent with a miracle having occurred. Investigating to try to find a
natural cause is just such an attempt. If I can find a natural cause, then
it is not consistent with an instantaneous miracle, maybe a miracle of
timing but not a snap your fingers and the genie appears kind of miracle.
