You cannot explain why it always works in the same way.

There's so much about presuppositionalism that is just so laughably batshit but for now this part is my favorite.
Essentially, it boils down to "Look! Nothing! That proves something!"
Or more specifically, "Look! Nothing unusual happened! That proves some unseen supernatural force must have acted upon it to prevent anything unusual from happening!"
It's a masterfully deft display of mental slight of hand. It turns zero evidence into evidence of its own kind.
You know what would be more impressive than nothing unusual happening?
Something unusual happening!
