I'm recusing myself from participation as Percy and will begin moderating this thread tomorrow with a goal toward keeping discussion focused on studying the supernatural while confining discussion of the nature of knowledge to the Scientific Knowledge thread.

As of today I'll be actively moderating this thread. Please keep the focus on issues surrounding the study of the supernatural. Please take discussion of the nature of scientific knowledge to the Scientific Knowledge thread.

My apologies for my Message 110 as Percy. I assume I failed to notice I was in this thread. I won't be able to reply to the several responses.
I would like to frame the debate a bit. Science is the study of the natural world, and so for science the supernatural does not exist, but how does one structure discussions with those who claim we should study the supernatural? I think that's what this thread is trying to address.
But it does seem to me that how creationists define the supernatural is what's most important.

Re: exist vs not exist :: natural = known and ?-natural = not known
RAZD, sorry, but I'm not going to allow anything that even hints at the type of discussion going on over at Scientific Knowledge.
