"The caliph then ordered John's right hand be cut off and hung up in public view. Some days afterwards, John asked for the restitution of his hand, and prayed fervently to the Theotokos before her icon: thereupon, his hand is said to have been miraculously restored."
- "magic intervention" hardly makes sense, considering the truth that everything is already pervaded and sustained by the Spirit from the very beginning. When some event looks like "intervention", it's actually just a change - allowed by the Spirit - in the game rules, or just an improbable but quite natural event. Our common problem, ever since Adam, is overestimating the reality of the "material" aspect. This problem comes from nowadays devils' tactic to conceal themselves playing the "scientific" game whenever possible. This forms, in the atheist heart, the Sacred Hope to repose in perfect non-existence after death.
What on earth can ever be unexplainable? Cosmic rays, all the known and unknown particles, are coming from the whole observable universe. They can, in principle, synthesize everything and move everything and stop the sun in the sky. It's hardly more improbable than that "evolution".
