You say that every time you ask Thor to provide a free parking space, a free space appears.
You say that this repeatable evidence is evidence of Thor's existence.
However, you have evidence of something purely natural (saying specific words has a correlation to a specific natural event). That does not speak to ultimate cause.
You have no direct evidence of the existence of Thor.
It is possible that the events occured from pure luck. It is possible that some natural, unexplained (though in principle understandable) law causes parking spaces to appear when you say those words.
To say that some being whom you cannot possibly ever directly see, touch, smell, feel, hear, taste, or in any way analyze or measure caused it is without evidence.
It seems to me, even given that extreme "parking spaces" example, that belief in the supernatural being, Thor, would still be irrationally placed.
