The anomalies that i have (personally) witnessed certainly provide evidence (for me) of a 'higher entity.'

As an aside and just to bounce an idea off of you...Crew See Fiction...

IF there is a God with the ability to simulate reality do you think God would simulate the crucifixion?...such that 'crew' members of spaceship Earth 'see' 'fiction'?

I have found something that you are too short-sighted to see.

There is no miracle you can witness that would not take a miracle of interpretation to believe it was not a natural phenomenon.
I didnt use the word 'miracle' in my statement. I used the term in a previous statement more so in relation to the water to wine scenario.

If it pleases you to look at odd things as miracles then obvious you place happiness above truth.
Most of the times i was witness to these anomalies were not pleasant. The truth is a bastard.

Don't expect rational people to follow your line of interpretation when there are always more rational explanations to be had.
I agree there is always a more rational explanation than resorting to use the term 'miracle'. I do prefer to use 'anomaly' since I believe the existence of a higher power to be completely rational.
I refer to my original statement that got the ball rolling. It is probable that we have already, or that we will in the future evolve into a simulated reality system. Necessity would dictate as entropy increases. This 'simulation system' could be seen as a 'higher-power', God-like...

Way to go at proving me wrong Chaz. What are these meds you keep referring to?

It's called humour.
