The "supernatural miracle" being the very natural support of human orgs.

I'm not religious and I don't agree with the train of thought but I would think it's probably something akin to "god sent these people to help me"

That's evolution for ya.

Even some non-human animals can develop superstituous beliefs.

You got my attention, now I'm curious. What animals do that?

B.F. Skinner had a paper called "'Superstition' in the Pigeon". This page gives a summary.

Get fucked, man. You're stripping away your own humanity just to dunk on a woman and her fucking child who, by all accounts, were in a horrible situation under awful conditions.

You're a shitty atheist (or whatever the fuck you may or may not believe in). Worse, you're a shitty person.
