Context:
Recent polls confirm that 93 percent of Americans profess some form of belief in God; yet most of them also drive cars, use electricity, and pay attention to weather reports, apparently assuming that the science undergirding these phenomena is generally trustworthy.

Clive'Phenomena' does not seem quite the right word here.I thought it was deliberate, given the "philosophical" context.

I can see electricity as a phenomenon, but I have trouble seeing cars or weather reports as phenomena.
