If you're talking about alleged events with people who don't share your beliefs, it helps to find common ground without negating what you hold to be true. Rogan was promoting his belief that the Bible isn't a standard for human behavior (to justify his leftist talking points and preferences, drugs, homosexuality, etc). Ben states he believes in the divine inspiration of scripture, but events in it and certain moral questions can also be explained via natural causes.
It was an easterly wind, and Ben accepts as much bc it is so written (he never said it was "just" anything). He clearly doesnt appreciate naturalistic reading into the text, despite his siding with Maimonidean thought on the question. Rogan doesn't have to immediately accept that God commands the winds in his pursuit of knowledge of whether or not the event even happened.
It was also the way Ben said it to Joe,
As if it was simply nature without God.

Ohhh, this makes a lot of sense. Having a conversation with Joe who has that belief [or lack of] would change the words being used.
