It should have been more like the following: The central question is a methodologicl one: would the occurrence of a miracle undermine science or, somehow, violate its principles? Whether miracles actually occur and whether, if they did, we would know that they had occurred are interesting questions but not the ones I was addressing here. Whether science has been undermined and whether, if it has been, we would know are different questions. I am very sorry: there were some typos in my previous reply.
