So then I presume you could never vote to convict on a jury, because however convincing the evidence and the prosecution's theory of the crime, the alternative theory of miraculous intervention would always exist.

Nice bit of swashbuckling, but "reasonable doubt" is not the same thing as "disproof"...

Cheers!

Not what I was saying. Proof beyond reasonable doubt is proof.

Once again, if the possibility of miraculous intervention doesn't provide reasonable doubt in a jury trial, why would you consider the possibility of miraculous intervention in explaining natural phenomena?
