If one assumes that God made the universe it follows that He made it according to a very complex set of physical laws that determine how things work. The quest to identify and understand those physical laws is at the very forefront of science and great strides have been made over the past few centuries, in particular during the last century. We have known for only a few centuries that the earth rotates on its axis and orbits around the sun along with a number of other planets, more recently that the solar system is located in a radial arm of a spiral galaxy swirling around some enormous black hole. Beyond that, who knows? But we know for certain that there is a tremendous amount of energy and irreversibility involved in the universal clockwork. Yet the Bible says that God has intervened at times in that clockwork. The best biblical example of God breaking his own laws, that I can think of, is reported in Joshua 10:13 when the sun stood still in the sky for an entire day. This was, of course, written in the Bronze age when all believed that the earth was the center of the universe and the sun revolved around it. It was plausible to all that the sun might just stop rotating around the earth if God wanted it to. For that to happen today, the earth would need to stop rotating, which is a pretty big deal. At the equator the earth is rotating at a speed of 1,670 kmph, or 1,070 mph. Movement of the sun's position in the sky is very noticeable to the eye every 15 minutes or so, at least. To stop the rotation of the earth from 1,670 kmph to zero would rip the earth apart and throw the entire solar system into imbalance. Quite a feat.
Any others?
