The claim is only "extraordinary" in a modern, "scientific" worldview. You exclude demons because, well, just because! Science has not demonstrated their existence (nor attempted to AFAIK, but I couldn't swear to it). From your other posts, I don't think this denial out of hand of the supernatural is thoroughgoing.

I admit that, in many ways, my personal prejudice is against the prevailing modern view, at least always remembering that, if two people (or cultures, or schools of thought, or ages, etc.) disagree, it may be that one is right and one is wrong, it may be that both are wrong, and it may be that both are right in some degree, but they're not talking about the same thing, "under the same aspect," as the philosophers say! ;-)

I have to go for tonight -- more tomorrow, maybe, if God should live and be well!

No, dear lady, "just because" is precisely the only "evidence" presented by people who "believe" things but have nothing believable to offer to back up their claims. Again, doubt is always justified in such cases. The burden of proof is on those making the claims.
