So even if an event can only be explained by a hundred interconnected earthly events, that is always more probable than it being by one supernatural event, because the earthly events are already known to exist (such as, potentially in this case, people lying, deceiving, manipulating etc... especially in the cause of religion).
A supernatural explanation should never come. Just because one doesn't know the answer doesn't mean it was sp00ky Jezuz. 'I don't know' is far better than made up bullshit unless it's a hypothesis that can or will be tested.
Yeah, that too. Sorry I didn't mean to imply that if I don't know, I jump to magic as an answer, cos that's not the case at all. I'm happy not knowing the answer to things, or even knowing that I will never know the answer.
