If it violated the laws of physics. Of course, that could just mean
that we were wrong about the laws of physics; contradicting the way we
*thought* things were doesn't make something supernatural. So if your
point was that whatever God might do could be seen as a natural
event--even if he raised someone from the dead--I suppose I wouldn't
quibble.
