But this is the opposite direction: it goes from supernatural to physical.
But that isn't the question I asked. I asked how the existence of something physical is evidence of something supernatural. To be evidence, it has to change the probabilities of the existence of a supernatural. How does it do so?
Because everything that exists did not miraculously come into existence the way it has without a source of knowledge and power. How could it possibly?

I do get why Christians are pushing this "big government" mantra because then lobbyists can't control the politicians. This way rich companies, including Churches, can buy politicians and make them do what ever they want. And this is why Christians love Trump no matter how "unchristian" he behaves because they can easily buy him and as oil and coal companies are having they way with him so do Christian organizations, I mean take Betsy DeVos who is loosening federal regulations on religious colleges and universities so that faith-based entities can receive federally administered funding.
Okay, please stop pretending Christian is synonymous with right wing republican. That is a stereotype that is perpetuated by television and is in no way accurate. No Christian I know personally likes Trump in any way, although some like Pence. Here are the actual facts from the Pew Research Center statistical analysis:
Orthodox Christians are 34% Republican and 44% Democrat
Mainline Protestants are 44% Republican and 40% Democrat
Catholics are 37% Republican and 44% Democrat
