Or is something only considered explained if attributed to some visible efficient cause?
Are you really advocating that we should tentatively accept that Fairies secretly control the Seasons?
That the Force is a real field that is generated by all life forms in the Universe and can provide its wielders with telekinesis and prescience?
That, when a red comet whizzes by, magic can happen and a true descendant of the Dragon lords can hatch centuries old dragon eggs and not get burned?
That there is a hidden Platform 9&3/4 in London's Kings Cross Train Station and that the train that stops there only carries magical people?
How can a supernatural cause ever be considered for a natural phenomenon (your something)?
