A a news story of turning water to wine, raising the dead or talking to the devil would certainly be questioned, if not poo-poo'd today. We'd demand evidence. But people accept without question all sorts of unnatural events if set in the past, within a religious context.
I suspect these ideas and contextual credulity are instilled in early childhood, before we develop critical thinking skills, reason, logic or any of the rational firewalls we have as adults. They become part of our mental operating system or intellectual ROM.
They're not accessible to review or analysis.
