Maybe everyone's threshold for describing these things is different, that could be, too. I could also easily say...''I don't know,'' as to what happened, if I can't find a secular explanation for it. So, there's that too. There's nothing wrong with saying ''I don't know,'' and it's also okay to say ''That seemed out of the ordinary, I wonder if that was Divine intervention?'' None of us know with certainty things that relate outside of our senses...it is hard to imagine that something actually might exist outside of our ability to comprehend it.
The only logical and rational explanation for something you don't know is "I don't know". It is never "I don't know, but that doesn't make me feel good so I'll just make up some nonsense that gives me a warm feeling inside and decide it has to be true."
Not what I'm doing, but I do like your bluntness. Would you say you are a materialist?
