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!
Oh, but god promised that everything would be as it is until the end, so the fact that nothing unusual is happening is proof that something unusual happened in the past when god made everything!
You couldn't have this complete normalcy without a past filled with magic creation and enchantments, because god sez so!
