I can think of several other ways to describe it -- unfortunately, just about all of them will bring down the wrath of Mod. ;)
Ya ... you wouldn't want to end up having to make another sockpuppet, would you?

Is there some physical law that forces reality to conform to stories in books?
If the book is a book of connect-the-dots, I guess NATURAL SELECTION would be your best answer.

Didn't someone infamous wear a shirt that said that?

Neither do angels, do they?

That's a different story.

If I write a story about angels, does the act of writing that story cause angels to suddenly come into existence? Do you think the writing of a story is some magical spell that makes it become real?

No.

If you want to do it like it was done, you'd have to speak them into existence.

Then why are you asking about angels?
Because I'm sure angels don't fit with your [myopic] reality either.

As I'm fond of saying:

Until you guys can build a machine that can do this ...

2 Kings 6:17 And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.

... don't harp on reality to me.

Until you can produce a God who can do it, follow your own advice.

But you can't see a different-state past as miraculous; even though it was a time where no one died physically?

Will our different-state future be just as "crazy as can be"?
Not to nitpick, but I think there was a different state in Noah's day and men did die then.

I think I sort of coined that phrase and every time I have seen it used it relates to how the state or nature and laws were different up to and even shortly after the flood. While the pre fall world was certainly different also, not much is said about it. The main idea of the DSP or different state in the past is to explain why science got it wrong. (they use only present laws).

Of course it does. DNA provides undeniable evidence that I am the son of my father.
So? Got any DNA from anyone pre flood?
Even though I was fathered 52 years ago. That's the far past now. And also that I wasn't poofed into existence 52 years ago. The far past.
I define the far past as over 4500 years ago.

Okay.
