2. I think the key here may lie in your phrase:

These are the ones that cause tears and breaks in the webs of natural cause as we understand it.

(emphasis mine)


And that's what you appear to conclude when you say:

Believing in this kind of "supernatural" is nothing more, or less, than believing the natural, deterministic universe is simply more complicated than we currently believe.

I would add that it might be more complicated than we can even comprehend or ever know.

Admittedly, much of what you are writing here I don't really get, but I sure do enjoy what I am understanding.

My bottom line has kind of been that it would be arrogant to think that we are the most highly evolved creatures (forces? spirits?) in all the universes. Your question appears to speak to whether something else, something bigger, would ever intentionally intervene.

That seems to be the bottom line about god/gods, and I do not think I will ever know the answer to that.

3. Why would an act in the natural universe by a supernatural entity be random?
