Ironically...Steve got that entirely right for the wrong reason. All of those things were reasons for miracle -stories-.....none of them were miracles that occurred, nor did they need to be in order to accomplish his 1-6.
Other mythologies use miracles stories in precisely the same way.
Something I've always wondered about soul and spirit and afterlife stories. They see without eyes, taste without a tongue, feel without skin, hear without ears..etc. Makes the meat machinery kind of redundant..but hey, what does a soulless bioautomaton like me know.
Maybe that;s the solution to the ridiculous mistep, anyway? The reason that godometers don't work is that they're natural and can't see gods..even though our redundant spirit eyes can. Sort of like how crazy people swear there's a pink fucking elephant that no camera can detect..right in front of them. Maybe ghost eyes can be defective, to...in order to explain why every ghost eye doesn't see gods, or ethereal pink elephants.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
