Interesting point.
Perhaps they were also looking for a miracle. I know folks that are always anticipating and looking for ways God will act and they notice that stuff more than I do. (And act on it.)
There is clear evidence of God’s presence all around ... particularly in the sciences. The most compelling example to me since childhood is the total solar eclipse.
That is, although the moon is just about 400 times smaller in diameter than the sun, it is, by the same ratio, about 400 times closer to Earth ... and we’re here to observe it! A set of “coincidences” that defies mere happenstance.
