Lewis wrote Miracles, quantum mechanics ( and physical indeterminism ) was only in the initial stages of acceptance, he stated the logical possibility that if the physical world was proved to be indeterministic this would provide an entry ( interaction ) point into the traditionally viewed closed system, where a scientifically described physically probable / improbable event could be philosophically described as an action of a non physical entity on physical reality.
