Sounds to me as if you desire a God and you are looking for somewhere to insert it?
I have already stated this -- bars of ivory soap float, bars of iron sink. People do not walk on liquid water at room temperature and pressure; only a supernatural god could pull that one off.
Uhm... not necessarily a 'Supernatural diety'.
Just some one/thing like 'Q' from Star Trek. An entity that has the power to simply alter reality/probability/what ever to its whim "Some how".
Heck, not even that far. Some one as technologically as advanced as the federation is to us could pull off the 'Walk on water trick' in any number of ways. Since Federation people routinely manipulate gravity and have 'tractor/pressor/ beams. Not to mention being on the 'Cusp' of having 'Hard light' holograms themselves.
Basically you've got to be able to rule out Clarke's Law before you can start looking for dieties behind the skirting boards.
Not at work.
