How is it illogical?

If God can do it, why is it illogical to say that he did? Obviously the laws of physics cannot explain it, because what we are saying is that God defied the laws of nature. Why is it contrary to logic to believe that God got involved and broke the rules of physics?

By the way, in that specific instance and in many others, the meforshim of a more rational bent interpret the story differently, and say the words used are used figuratively. See Ibn Ezra for example.
