I think it is in a larger context of what a society is. But even if it doesn't seem logical, that doesn't equate to actually being illogical or without alternative explanation. And even if there currently is no logical reason known...

That boils down to the god of the gaps fallacy.

What are you proposing precisely? That an entity or agent dwells inside each person that is incapable of being detected (i.e. doesn't react with our world of matter and energy), but then can at times interact with our world of matter and energy?

How does this happen? Does this agent move electrons and atoms in ways and force chemical reactions that would not naturally occur? If it did this, this could be detected.
