What happens to the laws of physics when (if) a miracle happens (ex -walking on water)?

I have heard many say that the very elements obey the person performing the miracle. One would assume that they obey God's will. Water changes its nature in obedience to its creator to be either wine or solid enough to stand on. Some would say the change isn't un-scientific just that science hasn't caught up with the mechanism that makes these changes happen. Science cannot measure such things and would doubt they happen and look for other explanations such as lying witnesses or rope tricks.

They don't apply ^_^

When the man invented to light up a fire, i bet first he tought it was a miracle and could never imagine walking on the moon. We don't know all the laws of the physics yet. We are still in the learning process and we dont know our level of knowlenge as well. What if we really are able to walk on the water and just dont know how to?

There is much that is unknown about the laws of physics. There are a variety of unifying theories..none is perfect nor accepted by all. How about this? The answers are out there only we shall never be able to access them. We live in a three-dimensional world..maybe our world actually consists of 26 dimensions, and the answer can be easily found and understood in the 6th or 7th dimension? Only our perceptions are limited to the three dimensions we can access? Happy Saturday! :)

Nothing happens. Miracles don't occur. It's utterly illogical to say that nature acts against nature sometimes.

"A miracle is a visible interruption of the laws of nature, such that can only be explained by divine intervention, and is sometimes associated with a miracle-worker. Many folktales, religious texts, and people claim various events they refer to as "miraculous". There are no scientifically confirmed occurrences of miracles: Miracles are not subject to controlled experimentation and the mechanism of occurrence not recognized by the scientific community. One aspect of some miracles which makes them almost impossible to verify is the fact that they are often manifested only to small groups of individuals, and sometimes centuries ago."

Jesus walking on water was more likely an illustration of faith rather than an actual event. Can't say I don't believe in "miracles", though- some years ago I saw my dentist about 3 bad abscesses in my mouth, I came back the next day for treatment, the abscesses were gone without a trace. How, the dentist nor I know.

God created the laws of physics and can defy them if it is to serve his purposes

I don't think anything changes, per se, regarding the laws of physics. Relatively speaking, we know very little of what these laws will, and will not allow, under changing and rare circumstance. Quantum physics illustrates that fact quite well; things that seem to be both particle and wave, particles that can be in multiple locations at the same moment in time. So I'm suggesting that "real" supernatural events, would really be nothing more than considered natural, given a full understanding of what has changed, regarding the matter and energy etc. incorporated into these events. From this perspective, I have no difficulty in believing that these odd "supernatural" events, could well have happened, given the right imposed, (intentional or unintentional) change in conditions.

God would never defy the laws of physics. Jesus raised his physical vibration to walk on water.

Then black becomes white and then we start from scratch... But that makes no sense, because in my logic God made everything USING science. He didn't just chaotically go "bam"
