There is no valid philosophical escape in that direction.

Shut out all miracles, and human existence, including its most vauntedly brilliantly creative thought, is but the equivalent of the toppling of a vast board of quark-dominos.

Hey, I thought you raged against the machine. Now you seem content to be its slavishly propelled cog.

Let in a miracle and everything degenerates into magic and superstition. I don't think you can manage a quark dominoe. There is too much acauslity and randomness, or at least statistical choices so vast as to mimic randomness in a finite universe.
