"As to the terminology "divine intervention", it is quite difficult to express our cultural beliefs literally in English words. However, the gist of your position I agree with completely. Those who scoff at our cultural beliefs are allowed their opinions, as they have their own beliefs. It is eternally entertaining to watch all of it transpire...here on Moku o Keawe.
Tutu Pele, for example, is not pau...she continues to reign over her 'aina, as her favorite brother, Kamohoali'i reigns over the sea. There are stories we don't dare share, due to the Kapu. Worse, we might be thought of as "touched"."
Sorry, Opihikao, but as much as I respect you, your comments also suggest there is intelligence behind nature, so will ask you the same question - How are you going to show this is due to divine intervention?
With respect, saying it doesn't translate into English or you're not allowed to answer the question is a bit of cop out.
