If they do interact, then that must either mean that some things *inside*
our universe (those miracles) are *not* bound by the laws of our universe,
or that those interactions *are* bound by these laws.

Origins aside, do you believe that there are things *inside* our universe
that are _not_ bound by its laws ?

If you can't argue using logic, and arguing by necessity uses logic,
then you can't argue, period.

Do you believe it is possible to argue without using logic ?
