That painted picture is very real and material, that's "material evidence", something did change from the interaction of God.
That's how usually the interaction of God with reality is understood. God interacts mainly by using humans as intermediary.
But that’s no different than feeling inspired by one’s idea of God.
Here the philosophical part, where do ideas come from?
What is the evidence of the existence of ideas?
This is tangential to the talk on God in christianity, though. Still useful as parallel.
Some ideas can be divinely inspired, according to christianity.
