The difference is in the CAUSE. There are natural causes and supernatural causes. Two categories of causes. Both result in effects in the natural world--otherwise we would not be aware of them. How do we distinguish? There are some effects that cannot be caused by naturalistic causes.
My italics. You are making an arbitrary distinction between a natural cause and a supernatural cause.
How is a supernatural cause different from a natural cause if both affect the nature that we can sense?
