The very simple take away we want theists to understand is that our laws of chemistry, eg, the periodic table, the laws of planetary orbits, laws of gravity, etc, aren't just earth's laws. They are laws of the universe which have been around for at least 13.7 billion years. All humans have done is discover and verify these laws.
Theists have a problem differentiating between "superior" technology or "undiscovered" universal laws and "magic"! The gods of all sacred texts are simply the garden variety disneyland style "magic".
So long that as grown adults, they insist on believing in the "unbelievable", then they can only be comforted by the term "god works in mysterious ways". This is their way of coming to terms with the fact that for all intents and purposes, their "god" acts like he doesn't exist. Guys, time to grow up......
