Also, my experience shows that most people don't have such a non-interventionist view of God. They generally attribute meaningful intervention to otherwise unlikely events.
I agree but let me ask, what good does it do to state such happenings if you know some would find any reason to debunk them no matter how un-scientific they would be? I never stated I thought there absolutely no signs of a god, simply, most believe god should appear and prove himself\herself or provide certain miracles to satisfy them, which I feel is completely wrong to assume. So no, I'm not arguing about a God that fails to show them self, to some, God does but if you are blind to it, you wont see or want to believe it anyway, this is why it's a deep personal belief. I could state many things that have happened and while I am not a specific religion, I pray but unselfishly, mainly for others or help for my family in general, never for my own needs and strange things have happened that could probably not be explained otherwise but as stated, those who want to debunk something, will stop at nothing to do so just as those who do believe in God , truly believe, will not let that be swayed by anyone. It seems funny how Jesus was crucified for his beliefs although he did nothing to harm anyone, and it seems religious people are getting the same treatment. Those that have done no great wrong that is, being a good person doesn't come with religion or money or power \status for sure. Even Jesus while human and being crucified asked, "why has thou forsaken me?" For a fleeting instant, his own belief must have been compromised, it doesn't surprise me that many people don't believe or their faith gets shattered, if it can happen to him, it can happen to anyone.

Once again, intervention or not, this is supposed to be free will, I don't expect some gold bars to fall through my roof, I work for it, I strive for what I need and get help where it's needed most.
