If it happened every time, I'd move to Norway and dine on pickled herring. If I could rely on prayer to produce the things I needed or wanted at a level that was greater than chance, I'd say there was some reproducible evidence supporting the notion of gods and the supernatural.

Ah, but here is where we disagree.

Any "evidence" of the supernatural will always be from ignorance.

The scenarios presented were obscenely unlikely (though technically possible) and/or beyond all current powers of explanation.
Likelihood or lack of current knowledge does not mean no natural explanation exists.
How can attaching final causality to any entity that you cannot possibly receive direct data about ever be rational?


It is just.
