The so-called natural forces of matter, such as gravitation, are properly speaking the effect of God's acting on matter at every moment. The implication of this is that the so-called 'course of nature' is a fiction; what we discern as the course of nature is nothing else than God's will, producing certain effects in a continual and uniform manner. Thus, a miracle is not against the course of nature, which really does not exist, except only insofar as it is an unusual event which God does.

If the universe is just God's thought, then it is basicly equivalent to saying it does not exist. The universe would then be only what it happened to be at that time, and subject to being something else completely at the next whim of God.
