Please explain...
@LadyCamus, I'm glad you're enjoying this
@Simon.
Sure. I'll explain it below.
We agreed (myself and you, Simon) on the following definition of supernatural:
Quote:supernatural (or metaphysical, if you want) simply means a concept that exists outside the physical world.
concepts of mathematics (e.g. the mental concept of a differential equation, etc) exists outside the physical world. It exists even if you remove this entire world. Ergo, its a supernatural concept (as per the above definition).
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
