The Bible: Uncut

something supernatural had to occur

A common misconception. This is called an Argument from Ignorance, nicknames “The God of the Gaps” argument. The logical construction of this argument is basically “I don’t know so it must be god.” It’s funny how as we learn more and more, the things people place in the realm of “what god explains and science doesn’t” grows ever smaller.

How do you know something supernatural had to occur? What evidence do you have that something supernatural even exists at all? The second you say “it must have been god,” you’re making a claim. And you’d best have something to back it up, because that which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
