Can we establish that "supernatural" does not exist, please?

su·per·nat·u·ral

[ˌso͞opərˈnaCH(ə)rəl]

ADJECTIVE

(of a manifestation or event) attributed to some force beyond scientific understanding or the laws of nature:

"a supernatural being"

synonyms: paranormal · psychic · magic · magical · occult · mystic · mystical

Let's start with "beyond the laws of nature," shall we?

Is there any reason to think that forces exist beyond the laws of nature? Has any thing in history happened that was "beyond" the laws of nature, or not simply attributed to being beyond the laws of nature?

Secondly, let's take a look at the synonyms for supernatural: paranormal · psychic · MAGIC · MAGICAL · occult · mystic · mystical.

It sounds to me like there is some bias here. Christianity doesn't believe in anything that contains, or is identified by these words, such as "psychics/mediums," tarot cards, magic spells, potions, or enchanted items, but it's acceptable if used in the context of explaining their God? Hmmmm........

    There used to be a $1,000,000 prize from the JREF for any supernatural activity that could be observed under scientific observation. It remains unclaimed.

    Really, 'religion and spirituality' should be merged with 'mythology and folklore' under the title 'mythology and folklore'.

    Tell that to the legendary ninja of Japan capable of wielding ninpo.

    They are just stories, but prior to 100 years ago or so, all history was made of simply stories.

    There are of course things like video evidence of a qigong master healer starting a fire with nothing but his consciousness. But it's easy to dismiss stuff like that as fraudulent or hoax. Unless you see with your own eyes, it's all difficult to believe. Even then it's still difficult to believe.

    Even when people like Chunyi Lin demonstrate through scientific study that external spiritual healing can be effective. Still, difficult to believe.
