If it's wrong to point to a gap and say, "God did it," it's also wrong to point to a materially-explainable phenomenon and say, "Since we see that the molecules did such and such, obviously God didn't do it."

No, the mundane, default explanation is that it was done by natural causes, since natural cause & effect is what we see in every moment. (Unless magical thinking dominates your everyday life, in which case, don't lose that rabbit's foot! :-)
