I am not asking you to test for the existence of GOD while you are alive. I am asking you to consider the possibility that this GOD of yours is real (as you believe to be the case) and asking you if this GOD as you have described it to be ("the creator of all that is seen and unseen") qualifies as supernatural by common usage of that term as used by myself, Slevesque and Mod in this thread.

No, GOD cannot be scientifically investigated or understood.
Why?
And I am answering "That is unknown."
And I can't investigate GOD because I do not know of a method.
It really is that simple.

Don't know. Sorry but I can't make it much clearer.

Re: It really is simple.
While I am alive and just human I don't see how I could ever put anything in the supernatural folder. If I experienced something demonic I would place it in the Unknown Folder.

Re: It really is simple.
If demons actually existed then they would be supernatural, but as I said above, as long as I am alive and a human I see no way I could ever place anything I experience in the supernatural category.
How could I know I experienced a real demon?

Re: It really is simple.
Other people are of course free to assert most anything.
GOD, if GOD exists would be supernatural.
I deride anyone who asserts stuff without evidence.
If Slevesque asserts demons actually exist then I would ask for evidence, but as i have said I see absolutely no way anyone could show, evidence, experience or know something was supernatural.

Re: It really is NOT IN ANY WAY simple.
No, I didn't remember that message, but I agree.
In fact I find those folk that try to prove their God (or any other "supernatural" thing) exists and really is "supernatural" very short sighted. The best that they could do is prove that whatever it is, it is not "supernatural" but just natural.

Re: It really is simple.
You are of course free to deride me if that makes you feel good.
As long as I am alive I would have to put any demonic experience I had in the Unknown folder, but then I believe I've told you that in the past.
If Demons or GOD existed though they would be supernatural.

Re: It really is simple.
Dark Matter is in a known to exist but not yet fully understood folder.
Nothing goes into my supernatural folder yet.
Read what I write.
Demons and GOD if they exist would go into the supernatural folder. But I see no way that as long as I am just a human living in the natural world that I could ever identify, test, examine, determine or know of anything that really is supernatural.

Re: It really is simple.
Again, I will happily repeat what I have said.
You look at the evidence.

Re: It really is simple.
Too funny.
No evidence, just definition.
That is why there is nothing in the supernatural folder yet.
It really is that simple.

Re: It really is simple.
Not really. I have said we can't define what supernatural is. We can define what it is not though.
If you like I will gladly step through it yet again for you.
Edited by jar, : hit key too soon.
