Does he think the miracle of the image’s creation was done by either nature or by the devil?

The act of the miracle itself and the power of that miracle coming from G-d is what should be revered, not the object or byproduct of the miracle.

True. The object itself is just the stuff of earth but the miracle itself is the stuff of Heaven. The real treasure is the One who did it.

But doesn’t it seem weird that the Lord would do a miracle to preserve the historical record of a blasphemer?
