Afterall if God has interfered in what you are studying then there may be no such natural explaination.

I would expect God's interference to look like whatever God wanted it to look like. It is not reasonable to assume that God would only act in supernatural ways. God's interference might actually look just like the natural process.

This, in a nutshell, is why religious concepts like God are not falsifiable, and therefore not science. Yes, any possible observation could conceivably be a big supernatural effort to trick us, but the scientific method rules that conclusion out from the beginning and moves on.
