Baseless assertion. You must realize that this is an argument from ignorance; we observe something that to date defies explanation, therefore God.

Negative....not an argument from ignorance....there is no explanation which defies us because we know these effects do not have local causes. I am claiming the observance of effects without local causes is exactly something we should expect to see if an unseen God exists and interacts with this world.
