That is only one explanation. One cannot discount the possibility that God did, in some shape or form, make himself known, even if such an expression is incomprehensible to our minds. I'm not discussing the improbability of the matter; I'm discussing the possibility of the matter, which is entirely different.

Look at what happened when the power went out along the eastern coastline of Canada and the US last year. It seems like those little balls stopped moving then and it was a complete nightmare over there. People are still talking about it. do you remember how long it was out for? I think 24 hours or so... no more then a few days. Could you imagine if the whole world shut down forever? Its almost too hard to contimplate!

Not only does that have little to do with your point about the elmination of electron movement, but let's face the facts - by a large gap we still live in better conditions than in the past even when such tradgedies occur. Even in the unlikely event that a cluster of problems will happen at once, we would simply have to return to our primitive state to survive - that does not mean that we destroyed ourselves. Quite the contrary - we advanced ourselves, and after time, can advance ourselves again as we possess knowledge of our previous advancements. It is such advancements which allowed us to get so far in dominating the planet, after all, which will ultimately work in our favor.
Recall that the earth will eventually be pulled into the sun. Unless we create technology to leave earth, we will all die.

and whats so logical about a supernatural entity? "logic" and "supernatural" are on the opposite ends of the spectrum.

You don't know much about natural theology, do you? Read up on the Cosmological Argument (which I found out about after I posted my one proof for the supernatural. The two are very similar, though not the same). I think it should be sufficient for my purpose.
