By definition, the supernatural is beyond the natural, not coincidences or flukes (i.e., the laws of nature) like the metaphysical is beyond the physical. But accepting the fact of the supernatural is not the stance of the scientific community. They are naturalists who believe in a natural explanation to everything; i.e., no supernatural. The laws of nature do demand an explanation for their being or existence and that leads to a Supernatural God or Lawgiver.
You cannot explain away a miracle by the laws of nature. Miracles are events not producible by the elements in question considering the time and manner of events available. Jesus is an example of someone who defied nature by walking on water and calming a storm. It is circular reasoning to say that miracles don’t happen because they are impossible—or haven’t been scientifically examined.
For God is a law to Himself and able to overrule the laws of nature for He made them. For instance, the force of gravity is specifically tuned to an almost infinitely small degree and if changed, no life would be possible. Why? Why is the speed of light what it is or is DNA only composed of four letters that seem to be the language of God? (Doesn’t this imply a Supreme Mind?) Science can discover the know-how but not discover the know-why. Why does the universe seem so fine-tuned for life? This Anthropic Principle needs an explanation if not from God as the Designer and Creator. Why are there laws of nature if not a God of nature? Soli Deo Gloria!
