But you don't know that their feats stem from God so it isn't evidence of God. The second is statistical. There are always going to be exceptional people. That's an artifact of random distribution. You're arguing their exceptionalism requires an explanation beyond random chance when you haven't shown that it does.
These saints say their feats stem from God, and I believe them.
I have seen this in others and experienced it myself. When you do things in God's service, you get a super-human energy and commitment level. You do things that seem impossible.
This is why 80-year-old nuns of the Sisters of Charity can do backbreaking work of caring for the poor all day every day.
