According to John Mackie: "Whether the laws of nature are deterministic or statistical, we can give a coherent definition of a m

iracle as a supernatural intrusion into the normally closed system that works in accordance with those laws, and in either case we can identify conceivable occurrences, and alleged occurrences, which if they were to occur, or have occurred, could be believed with high probability, though not known with certainly, to satisfy that definition." Which of the following best summarizes his main point here?
a. supernatural intrusions (miracles) are possible if the laws of nature are statistical or deterministic
b. It makes it fair that innocent others must suffer terribly so that the rest of us may have an interesting, character-building yet tragic world in which to live
c. It presumes that all evil is caused by humans
d. A violation of the laws of nature.

<u>Answer</u>:

A) Supernatural intrusion ( miracle ) is possible if the law of nature is statistical and deterministic.  

<u>Explanation: </u>

The law of nature are statistical and deterministic, these laws are strict, not statistical and deterministic according to the law of classical determinism. There would be a condition that is not under our control and all our actions.  

The strict law +independent conditions = Personal action. All this action happened by the event of the pattern but even the patterns are not conformed to the strict law of nature.
