I answer this as a former Christian. Those elements are not directly mysterious "magical" powers of God. God is not a magician, he is a deity. He, Christians believe, created the entire universe and everything in it. That includes gravity, rain, and thunder because they come with the universe He created.

Well, yes, but so is everything in the natural world. Even though we leave off the magical aspect and lean toward divine it really is all semantics.
I also find it amazing how you can take plastic, metal, glass run some electricity through it and you have a computer, or a cell phone or anything else like that.

They used to think that rainbows were mystical magical powers of God.
We've learned since the Dark Ages that this is simply not true. Any 4 yr old with a garden hose on a sunny day can create a rainbow. Nothing godly about it.

Let's see:
magical -
–adjective 1. produced by or as if by magic: The change in the appearance of the room was magical.
2. mysteriously enchanting: a magical night.
3. of or pertaining to magic.
Ummm. . . . . . YES!

Yes
and theres nothing magical about it.
God made a covenant with Noah after the flood waters receded and His covenant is still seen today after it rains.
(Read Genesis 9:11-13)
That scripture in today's terminology sounds like this: And God said: " This is the sign of my covenant I am making between me and you and everything living around you and everyone living after you. I'm putting my ' rainbow ' in the clouds, a sign of the covenant between me and the earth...."

before everything, the two Christians and Muslims could be narrow-minded. besides the fact that, basically Islam quite teaches narrow-mindedness; while Christianity teaches that all of us have the appropriate to our very own ideals and subsequently the followers of Christianity musn't opress their perspectives on others in violent or risky techniques. every physique who does has strayed from the genuine doctrine of Christianity. The Koran, on the different hand, teaches that non-believers, or "infidels," are no longer allowed to stick to their very own ideals; that Muslims have the appropriate to punish them in the worldwide (while Christians leave that to God); and that a distinction of opinion is basically an social accumulating to cut off somebody's head. Take, for occasion, this little gem of a non secular proverb from Islam's holy e book: "i visit solid terror into the hearts of people who disbelieve. subsequently strike off their heads and strike off each fingertip of them" (Koran 8:12). you will no longer discover something like that interior the Bible.

If God created nature, then anything created within nature is therefore created by God. So, yes, although I don't believe there's anything mysterious or magical about it. Most who believe in God aren't so damn ignorant.

I am not atheist but I agree with dougness86. If you want something magical and mysterious go watch Harry Potter.

God doesn't use magic. thunder, gravity, rain.... all science that doesn't contradict God

thunder, gravity, and rain are all parts of God's creation, just like trolls-the difference is, science can explain these phenomena, but there's no explaining a troll...
