theophany? physiophany?

over the centuries, the "Sinai theophanies" of the "burning bush", the storm phenomena on Mount Sinai , the guiding columns of smoke and light, the presence in the Tabernacle...has been attributed to physical causes, not godly, hence the words: physiophany.

and if Feuerbach et al were correct, one might conceive: anthopophany

The opposite of euthanasia should be better known and possibly used..
