    However, it's a very big leap to attribute miracles to God or something supernatural. I think that's where people make the mistake.TheMadFool

    If you think of things like quantum entanglement, there is a possibility that such phenomenon is attributable to interactions we do not yet understand, but the problem is mostly where people are vulnerable to believe in unrealistic and even irrational things and project that psychological experience to the natural world. They explain the experience using religious themes mostly because the latter allows them to due because of the all-encompassing supernatural content.

    Look at theosophy - this cohort openly believe in the devil and that there are spirits in higher plains surrounding us. They went so far as to try and make Krishnamurti into the Maitreya of whatever bullshit they believe in.
