There is always a scientific reason for anything, anywhere anytime,  happening on the planet earth. There is no, ( never-ending-debatable)  super-power,  to fool the illiterate people!
A few they argue that it is needed for the people to believe, in supernatural power, presence of godly happenings, but still misusing their ardent belief, to their selfish means is,  definitely, according to me is wrong , ! I donot compromise on that issue.
These thoughts are refered, in a such an individual claiming that he acts in accordance to  the manifestation of God, i.e,  to the Indian school named 'Lorete School', episode, sometime back, who claims, that the lord.......!

Even for the festival 'Sankrit day'-'a magic jyothi', appears'...at the dusk, scores of people wait to have a glance of that they believe that it is the 'light of god's, blessing....so on and so forth.
There is an scientific explanation to the universal  event also that,

" it is the universe phenomina, that the two planets revolving on their own orbit, and a 'small line-of-gap', at that particular day-and-time, in their revolutionprocess, a spark from sunray, the RAY of LIGHT (Jyothi)appears ....

the same people call it as the 'magical jyothi', since ages the belief carries on...followed even to day.

There is nothing that the science does not explain. Nature is powerful,  hence, super-power(bhoota, one of the panchabhootas)  but one cannot fool one around by blindly telling, that God appeared....blabla....It is only psychological thinking making people fool...
