I'm not trying to prove that 'god is all in the mind'. I am merely trying to demonstrate that there appears to be sufficient evidence that there are other (non religious) mechanisms that can sometimes come into play.

It is a thorny one if you are prepared to accept that we can ask God to manifest his presence on the whim of a medic/scientist, at a given time and place. If you feel that the above is either ludicrous or beneath God, then you must accept that the phenomenon is (at least sometimes) man made and not divinely inspired.
