Fair enough. But there may be some naturally occurring events at work behind these claims of the sort routinely studied by anthropologists, social psychologists, philosophers and psychologists of religion, experts in the spread of comparative mythologies, etc. After all, the ancient world was rife with extraordinary stories and claims. Hiding behind, "But these are claims about supernatural events" doesn't really cut it for me or, I daresay, for most other non-believers.
