In his final reply Frame interprets me to mean that this is the Scriptural view. But this was not my intention. That view of science has changed and with it the view of miracle found in Christian thought. By the standard view of miracle, I meant the view of miracle embraced by most Christians since the coming of modern science. Many Christians have believed that God sometimes by-passes this structure in order to perform miracles.
Frame admits that some theologians have held such a view.
I think he underestimates the extent of this view in modern theological circles. They believe that God has acted directly in curing the cancer or blindness or paralysis and that science has not and will not be able to explain the cure. To his credit Frame seem to reject this view of miracles. I am afraid I am still not completely clear about what his own view entails. On one obvious reading, it has the same unfortunate consequences for science as the view he rejects.
