Trying to say it's impossible because we've never empericaly tested an event of this kind (I'm confident we have at least observed) is an argument from silence.
I don't think that is what I've said at all. If there was a (whatever you want to call it) source that intervened with the universe, it would be natural even if it doesn't follow the laws as we know them now. Also, if a thing has an effect within the universe, that effect would be testable. For example (assuming that the Christian God exists), if prayer was effective then you would be able to see a statistically significant variance between Christians and non-Christians.
