What you describe falls in the realm of supernatural... in other words, magic.

Face it, your belief requires just as much faith as mine.
We're agreed then that faith is frivolous and has no bearing on the truth of something.
I'm often amused by how quickly some Christians resort to tu quoque with remarks like 'atheism is a religion' or 'your belief that the answers science finds will always be natural is just faith' when those arguments rely on devaluing religion and faith; that is, they acknowledge that religion and faith aren't good reasons to believe something. A tu quoque argument used in this way fails doubly: it's fallacious, and it's self-defeating. Small price to pay for a zinger to atheists, I suppose.
Neo-Scholastic Wrote:The laws of nature do exist. Why?
Because a universe with no regularity at all is so absurd as to require something beyond that universe to explain it. Even chaos has order within it, if there were no order at all, that would be a kind of order in itself, and the one law of nature would be that there is no order...and what keeps it from having any order would be a Very Important Question. All conceivable universes have at least one law of nature.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
