How did you go about ruling out all possible natural explanations?
This is actually a fallacious quote.
It is an almost textbook example of argument from ignorance.
I'm all ears...
All ears for what?
You don't get this whole, critical thinking thing, do you?
You are the one that is claiming that the only explanation for this event is supernatural. But you don't stop there, you claim a god is responsible. But do you stop there? No. You claim it can only be your specific god. It is up to you to prove your case. It is not up to us to prove you wrong.
It is not our fault that your evidence for this extraordinary claim is quite mundane. The only reason why we are rejecting your evidence, is because it is far from convincing for the above claims you are making.
There are tons of videos, testimony, stories, etc, from 'miracle healers' that are Hindus, Muslims, and New Agers. The evidence for their claims are no better or worse that yours. Yet, you are making a special case to disbelieve theirs, and believe yours.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
