If so, can you say what rational reason you have for making this causal assignment?

Before the modern understanding of germ theory, disease was assumed to be a curse. Before meteorology, hurricanes and floods were caused by God. Before modern agriculture, crop success and failures were assumed to be divine intervention.
Why doesn't it leap to mind that a natural explanation will eventually be discovered?

Maybe God or a spirit of some sort (if reason/logic can not currently point out the cause)It is not always God(the supreme Higher Being) or his opponent(Commonly known as Satan).Some times angels/other spirits do funky things.

your wrong in your theories of germs,hurricanes and crops.
Not everything was attributed to God, curses or divine intervention. Even in the OT people were smart enough to know that weather was sometimes just the weather, and sometimes sickness was just a sickness, They understood that,why don't you.
Sometimes it's God
Sometimes it's satan
Sometimes it's human
and Sometimes it's just nature. I don't assume God caused everything that's just you trying to be somewaht wise.

I am a Christian and when something occurs that I really don't know why it happened, I assume that it is a test to see how I handle the situation.

No, we look for a natural cause first.
If the laws of nature cannot explain it, then it probably comes from God.
