This is a little arrogant. The argument doesn't break down because I point out the obvious-- that miracles violate science is a bias you bring to its study.

If the argument proceeded honestly, we would examine that proposition (since you don't agree with it).
OK. If I told you that my maternal grandmother, a very wise and mysterious woman, was born without a navel and died at age 53 on Dec. 20, 1971, but revived herself exactly one week later, would you believe me? If not, what would be your bias against my claims?

(And, if it's not already clear to you, these are hypothetical questions).
