Anyone who believes in miracles doesn't believe the laws of physics are entirely reliable.

Unless and until a ToE is found, nobody should believe the "laws of physics are entirely reliable".

Even with a ToE, a remnant of doubt always must remain, as required by the ToE being in principle open to being falsified / contradicted by future evidence.

However, that inherent lingering unreliability cannot be twisted into believing some "favorite miracle" to be more likely, e.g. unicorns.
