Sorry if we're going to look more closely I need to be more accurate with language. Observable as in verifiable. Say Jesus existed and demonstrated that he was God to you... you would have the choice still to believe that or not. Given any seemingly supernatural event the natural human reaction would be to dismiss that event with natural explanation.
The effect of prayer isn't testable. The parting of the Red Sea, making wine from water, if it happened, would be explained by natural forces.
I never watch a magician and think they're actually performing magic. I know the magician is fooling the audience.
It's a matter of internal interpretation. Belief in God provides a framework to interpret phenomena.
