Well, physics should be a theory of everything, in some sense. If we started to see “miracles,” we’d just want to incorporate them into our physics. What distinguishes “supernatural” events from ones that just aren’t explained by current physics?

Something like “couldn’t be explained by any imaginable physics” maybe. But that makes the limits of our current imagination part of the definition, which doesn’t seem right.

Also, current physics doesn’t actually explain *most* everyday things. We just think they’re “reducible to” physics in some sense; but no one has been able to work out exactly what that sense is.
