Miracles (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) (9718 words)
If laws of nature were descriptive of the scope and substance of everything that could logically happen, instead of their scope being limited to what can happen naturally (i.e., apart from supernatural interference), then of course miracles would not be possible.
A violation of a law of nature by natural means is what one wants, normatively, to hold as a contradiction in terms — assuming insistence on generality (i.e., nonlocal empirical terms) in the statement of the law.
The counterfactual force that is constitutive of the meaning of some causal statements that specify necessary and sufficient material conditions for some event to occur may indicate the presence of an implicit generalization in the causal statement about a miracle.
