Thanks for clearing that up. On your last point, I fully agree with you. In fact I'd go a step further and say it's not just unnecessary to make naturalistic explanations for supernatural events, it's also misguided when the whole aim of the exercise is to explain in natural terms how a god interacts with the Universe. People who do that always have one hand on the big red ejector seat button labelled "magic" and they're never afraid to hit it at the first sign that their naturalistic explanation is taking a nosedive.
By a similar token, it's unjustified to leap instantly to a supernatural explanation while there are natural ones still on the table, and to cry foul when those natural explanations get mentioned.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
