The presence of free will suggests a possibility of the presence of supernatural phenomena, you can't deny that. Even if you oppose this view, you must allow at least a small percentage (maybe 20%? - just an arbitrary number) for its likelihood.
Therefore, there does exist the possibility of supernatural phenomena.
Quote:Just because a proposition isn't one-hundred percent proven with certainty doesn't mean that every other proposition is equally possible! In fact, in the case of the supernatural, we'd need to demonstrate that such a thing even is possible before we can start determining if it's "equally possible"! ...
likelihood is not the same as possibility.
If A has a 90% likelihood and B has a 10% likelihood, they are both possible.
