It is impossible to explain everything in the Bible by natural, scientific means. Miracles are a breaking of God's own natural laws. That's why they're considered miracles. It also explains why miracles have a very low probability of occurring. For an interesting explanation of miracles within the context of human understanding, read David Hume's On Miracles.

Life is too complex to be pigeon-holed. But before I try it on you, what say you of human values?
