I’m not assuming those events broke the laws of physics, since I don’t even believe they happened :)
I’m mostly wondering how calcsam accounts for that kind of events, the events-that-would-be-very-hard-to-exlain-with-current-science. I’m wondering if the explanation would be “God has the root password of the universe, he can suspend the laws of nature if he wants to” (the “traditional” account of Miracles as supernatural events), or “There are beings with high technology we can’t understand, their actions look like miracles to us”, or “Those things didn’t happen, they are symbolic and their main purpose is teaching us moral metaphors” or some other explanation.
I talked about the “laws of physics” mostly to exclude “explainable” miracles like placebo-style faith healings, for which religious and scientific explanations of the physical world don’t necessarily conflict with each other.

Absolutely no in LDS theology, God can not break the laws of nature.
