Laws are only absolutes if there is no higher law e.g the law* of gravity is only seen in action if there is no higher force opposing that law.
E.g when a father lifts his baby from it's cot, the law of gravity is not broken, it is merely temporarily superseded by the strength of the parent. However to a being not familiar with the concept of a "parent" the act would appear as though a law had been broken.
To assume that what may be viewed as "miracles" is either impossible or against the "laws" of physics, is restricting ourselves from a universe of possibilities and exploration both temporal and spiritual.
