Isn't it human nature to seek patterns? Like seeking images in clouds.

As for the causality, once again I put it down to that feeling of awe. If it is something important to a person whether it be Jesus or Elvis, then they will attribute it to their higher power. While if it does not cause that awe like seeing a horse in the clouds then it is just a whimsical experience.

And this is precisely why we have to be able to understand why we see what we see. Just because seeing an image of Jesus in a swirl of pizza sauce might have some meaning for you does not make it any less whimsical than seeing that horse in the clouds.
