Fair enough, but I suspect that with some further poking and prodding we'd see the circular logic come out eventually. And, like you pointed out, people who have seen gods works (or claim to have) are likely the people predisposed to do so, ie something extraordinary occurs in their life, it was clearly the work of god. It's like the parents whose child is cured of some terrible disease, and say it was the work of god. Not the doctors, or nurses, or meds, or advances in technology that allowed for the treatment to be possible, nope, just god.
