I want to say that to be Christian isn't to check your brain at the door and deny the principles of scientific materialism and it doesn't mean to be gullible to all the claims that are made for miracles. The laws of science are important to life, otherwise we would never be able to know any real security for simply living day to day. I need the law of gravity to be securely true for instance.
Christianity doesn't deny the science behind materialism, it does, however, challenge the claim of ultimacy in materialism. We believe that there is a higher law and that the universe has infinitely more possibilities than materialism would indicate. Ordinarily, everything works according to those laws but occasionally, God does things that can't be accounted for by them. Predictability and order are indeed evidence of God, He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, but they aren't the full definition of God's being.
Creation is evidence that something new happened in time and space, the universe came into being and nothing before that could have predicted it. Why do we have a problem with Him doing new things after that time?
