Did you ever notice?

I think modern religion is the last stronghold of magic and sorcery being the unknown source of things. We've finally got the sorcerer limited to things like beginning of time because we've exposed so much of their other venues in regular life where they tried to hold the public sway.

How do you imagine we would observe a supernatural cause? Do you think we could see it with a telescope? Hubble catch a brief glimpse of a giant eye winking at us or a booming voice from the heavens, "that was me!" This is not to say that supernatural causes are unverifiable which would be as good as calling them useless. What I am trying to point out is that you need a different tool to discover them that is not lab equipment. Namely you need to use your noggin or good old reason. One hundred percent of all things on Earth and in the Heavens have a cause, they have been created. Since this is the case that also means that 100% of all the interesting and weird mysteries that surround them also were created by a being or force that is truly eternal, supernatural (or spiritual), and all powerful that we all commonly call God.

What I am pointing out, is that many many things, more than I'm probably even aware of, have been attributed to supernatural causes. The human race defaults to that when it is convinced there couldn't be a natural world conclusion. But time and again, it resolves to finding some new knowledge of the natural world.

Yeah, I am not a believer in the "God of the Gaps" either. He is God of the beginning, the gaps, and the end. "I am the alpha and the omega." - Jesus

The thing un-seeable I'm most interested in studying is not a god, but consciousness. That's one of the best real mysteries.

Some humans have defaulted to a soul because they can't believe it has an explanation. I think we will solve that eventually, after all it's much more available than the beginning of time and space.

How do you imagine one could be proved,
where is the evidence. But what HAS been
debunked countless times, is what we
used to call supernatural has been proven
time and again not to be. It will all be
debunked eventually, the supernatural does
not exist.

I agree that is one of the most wonderful and awesome mysteries.
