If you say so, Neo, it must be so.
It couldn't possibly be an issue of you not -liking- the explanations naturalism is fully capable of offering for each, could it?
It couldn't possibly be that having the inanity of your magical alternative pushed at you without all the obfuscating verbiage, you reel against it's idiotic simplicity and strongly desire to pin it on "the other guy"?
You know what else might explain our exchange, though...what with naturalism not being capable.......magic. As you just explained yourself, they couldn't have intentionally done any of that wishing by any natural means.......
Perhaps either of you two magic proponents can help me out here. I don't know how to make you happy. You introduce the possibility of magic as a legitimate explanation for some phenomena x, by way of rationalizations regarding what some other system can and can't explain...or it's fallibility, the point seeming to be to allow for magic. Then, when it's simply given to you, you act as if someone's shoved a used sex toy in your face?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
