Can The Laws Of Physics Be Broken?

[Will Bigger]

Let's say the miracles performed by certain holy people are real... I am not asserting the truth or untruth of these things because I simply don't know... But if they are real, do they break the currently suspected laws of physics?

It depends if these things we genuine 'miracles' or a misunderstood, misinterpreted and misrecorded accounts of something that can be explained by the laws of physics. People often believed in such things only because they couldn't explain it at the time.

Unfortunately we can never know if they were 'real' because we weren't there to witness them. So we can only speculate, which is meaningless pursuit.

If something 'supernatural' is observed, It becomes a natural phenomenon. Therefore the laws of physics would have to change to encompass it.

No, there are laws we know, there are laws some mystics know. (I am not talking about magicians and fake gurus) 

For example, The higher your consciousness, the greater your vision; the lower your consciousness, the smaller your vision. Go and stand on the street under a tree and look: you have a vision – you can see to the nearest corner of this road, then there is a turning and the vision stops. Climb the tree and have a look from the tree – then you have a greater vision. Go in an airplane – then you have a birdseye view of the whole city. Go higher, and greater becomes the vision; go lower, and smaller is the vision. There are rungs in the ladder of consciousness. If you are at the peak of your consciousness, look from there: eternity is revealed.

For Buddha everything is present because there is no future – his vision is complete. For Jesus everything is present: there is no past because he can see, there is no future because he can see. From the highest peak of consciousness the whole is visible, so nothing is past, nothing is future; everything is here and now. The future exists because of your confined vision, not because the future is a necessity in the world, in existence. It simply shows that you have a narrow vision: something that goes out of your field of vision becomes the past; that which has not yet come into it becomes the future. But things in themselves are in eternity.

yes, they can, because they're not the laws of nature. they're just an attempt to describe reality with thought process.

the idea of Atoms is a miracle thousand  years ago, why not .. but the rational people will consider this a new discovery.

Given that there are no laws (now correctly called "theories", such as Quantum theory), and given that the probabilistic outcome of any possibility is absolutely real no matter how absurd it may appear, and perhaps given that reality is infinite to the power of infinite - then perhaps the question needs rephrasing.
