Many things were seen as mysterious and miraculous in the past, and therefore evidence of God, but once explained by science they became just natural phenomenon. If there is a God then his 'mysterious ways' could be explained by science. Not now, maybe not with our current understanding of physics, maybe not in this dimension, maybe not given a billion years, but there is ultimately an explanation. Explaining how God answers your prayers, if you believe he does, shouldn't minimize the act.
The corollary to that, is that no 'miracle' should be used to 'prove' the existence of God. At best they might suggest the existence of something we don't understand yet.

100% agree. Did not say that it was proof. Did say that there are unobservable things that people, including myself, believe in.
