Taz.

I'll be frank. Speaking as a skeptic, I have to accept the possibility of the existence of ghosts.

Personally, I think your friend is a loon. But by denying outright the existence of ghosts for absolutely no valid reason, you are little better than the loons you're trying to disprove.

By direct abstraction. Interestingly, the agnostic could level the same 'loon' accusation at both the Christan and atheist.

Re: Is This Where the Supernatural Is?

Rahvin

I suggest that everything identified as "supernatural" is simply an example of phenomenon we (or at least the observer) are not immediately able to explain.

Therein lies the rub.

The moment we discover how the feat above nature is performed then it no longer is perceived as being supernatural.

Fat end of the wedge example:

If a man can reach a destination faster than he can run on his own two legs, can it be said that he has journeyed, time travelled by supernatural means?

Re: Is This Where the Supernatural Is?

Theory of Evolution solidly proves Biblical Creationism to be wrong as a matter of simple fact.

Sadly 'evolution' does not answer the question of first cause.

Also. There is mention of a tree of life in the bible, Darwin encapsulated his theory with a 'tree of life' metaphor.
