I would not immediately assume all the children were cured because of the actions of a deity. If I did, then I would have to question why this deity did not cure all the children since the beginning of mankind. Why did he do nothing while, throughout history, children died by the wagonload of smallpox, diptheria, plague, etc...?
What MIGHT convince me is if there was some organized national (or even international) prayer effort that asked "God" to cure all the children in the world of whatever affliction they might have, and the next day hospitals all over the world were reporting that patients in the children's ward were suddenly showing no signs of disease. But until something like that happens, I'll continue to be highly skeptical of any claims involving a deity as the cause.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
