It is very simple, but important, to see that miracles do not necessarily imply the setting aside laws. Man produces previously unknown effects by them—change them he cannot; surely God can. The only difference is that man uses the laws themselves, and force, to produce the effect—God, the fiat of His will. God may act beyond laws, without setting aside any existing ones, because He can quicken and create. But the argument that there are laws, and God would not set aside His own, is perfectly without force.
