If interpretation of Scripture flies in the face of the physical evidence, Scripture must be reinterpreted in light of that evidence.

Not necessarily.

[Opening yet another can of worms...]

Miracles by definition 'fly in the face of evidence';
but they claim ab initio as it were, to be exceptions, directly resultant from extra-natural activity.

If miracles are claimed to be "how things normally work", or (sometimes) when something with an everyday explanation, of which the viewer is ignorant, is asserted to be a miracle, then the red flags should go up.

True. However, the situation we are talking about is covered by lots of evidence that it occurred naturally and is not the result of a one-off miracle.
