They're only explainable if God exists,...I guess I fall into that category, with one exception: the truth of Christianity comes primarily from revelation and not natural observations or logical deductions. One can conceivably learn of a Creator from the last two, but not a historical event like the first advent.
Although lately, I'm coming to question the use of the term objective. It seems to apply only to sensible things, like apples, as opposed to, say, a mathematical proof. My point is that, something need not be objective to be universally valid.
