The Movie Paranormal Activity

Or a huge hoax perpetrated by an advanced alien invasion force, getting their larfs on us at an unprecedented rate.....I was wondering if you might have had something to say here....Sorry to be late to the table. Is there any good single malt scotch left?

This is another log on the fire of scientific investigation removing the "supernatural". That is what it does, you could say, by definition. The possibility of "it's magic" is NOT a permissible scientific observation, as has been referred to above over the entire recorded evidence of homo sapiens.In other words, the very same strength of the lengthy and consistent pattern of scientific investigation showing that the only known source of the supernatural is imagination is the same strength of the argument that the investigation will inexorably determine that there is only a natural explanation and thus bluegenes' theory cannot be falsified.

Yes - the same as my Box 2a in Message 111 that Straggler did not like.

No. He is not. Maybe he used to be, but we know now that he was a figment of human imagination.

It's the difference between a supernatual concept and a supernatural being that actually exists.As a card-carrying bluegenes' theoretician, wouldn't you agree that so far all known supernatural concepts are fiction?As for Thor, back in the day there were enough folks at the top of the information chain who held the view that Thor, the supernatural being, was real and thus for a while it was a prevailing concept writ large. Of course, Thor was not considered to be anything in other areas of the world, since back then, from those other parts of the world, reciprocally, "other areas of the world" were most likely not even thought of.Remember the white english speaking journalist confronting Shaka Zulu Khan and telling him about this dude Jesus in that nice documentary. Strange things have happened.

The difference is in how he experiences it. If, however unlikely (hence the emphasis on "MIGHT"), after he is dead and his consciousness is still around, like in some form like a sort of soul, then he is directly experiencing within himself something supernatural ("Hey! I'm still here!!"). Your hypothetical scenario is something he would be observing external to his self. Same way with Modulous' example of someone else who is dead sending a post death message using encryption - IT IS NOT jar. They are as if proxy examples.
