I can accept hokey religious ones more because it's sorta like "let's asspull this." And religious explanations can still leave things open to interpretation and don't necessarily discount science. Also, religious explanations tend to work better narratively because it keeps things short: "Why can the MC do it? Maybe it's, like, God or something." Hokey sci-fi ones are usually over-explainy and done along the lines of "how can we best kill someone's imagination by providing our canon immutable say-so." But I see your point tho'.
