That would be my take on it. We live in a universe that has been given various laws of operation by God. Occasionally He changes things up and we call that a miracle.


Do we know that the laws (whether or not they come from God) are uniform throughout all time and space? That is a basic assumption of science and it is called the Theory of Uniformity.

Everything that science tells us (every law and every conclusion) is ultimately based on the theory that the laws of science act uniformly. The laws and conclusions can only be as firm as the foundation upon which they rest.


So if randomness and the laws of nature are not uniform then it is possible that this quirk we call the universe is the most likely randomly occurring event. It would also be true that any claim that miracles are likely could also be the most likely event.
