[QUOTE="James Redford, post: 56542644, member: 251810"] That's according to traditional Christian theology. God violating His own laws would make no sense. After all, they're His laws. Moreover, the idea that God would violate His own laws would mean that God is not omniscient, since it would mean that God failed to foresee that a better set of laws would be required in order to accomplish His goal. God does go beyond the laws of physics, but that is not the same as God violating the laws of physics. Infinity does not violate arithmetic. Rather, arithmetic does not apply to infinity, since infinity is not a number on the real line, which is the open interval of (-infinity, +infinity). This is the exact reason why no possible laws of physics can apply to the cosmological singularity (i.e., the uncaused first cause, i.e., God), because physical values are at infinity at the singularity, and hence it's not possible to perform the arithmetical operations of addition or subtraction (and hence multiplication or division) in which to apply a physics equation to said infinite values. The Standard Model of particle physics provides the mechanism by which the miracles recorded in the New Testament can be achieved without violating any known laws of physics, even if one were to assume that we currently don't exist on a level of implementation in a computer simulation (in that case, then such miracles would be trivially easy to perform for the society running the simulation, even though it would seem amazing from our perspective). This process uses baryon annihilation, and its inverse, via electroweak quantum tunneling controlled by the cosmological end state of the Omega Point (since in physics it's just as accurate to say that causation goes from future to past events: viz., the principle of least action; and unitarity). If the coming of Jesus Christ and the miracles that He performed were necessary in order to lead to the Omega Point, then the probability of said event occuring is exactly 1: certain to happen.
