And if you were indeed warned by a god(s), how do you know which one it was?

wikipedia:

Occam's Razor states that the explanation of any phenomenon should make as few assumptions as possible, eliminating those that make no difference in the observable predictions of the explanatory hypothesis or theory. The principle is often expressed in Latin as:
entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem, which translates to:
entities should not be multiplied beyond necessity. Furthermore, when multiple competing theories have equal predictive powers, the principle recommends selecting those that introduce the fewest assumptions and postulate the fewest hypothetical entities

I have fished myself at Burn's Lake (a lovely spot). I have no doubt that sound could carry very far there.

Isn't it far more likely:

1) you were warned at a distance by another human at the lake; or

2) someone in your group made the statement; or

2) you did not hear what you think you heard?

Does God intervene?
