You actually have demonstrable evidence that Jesus walled on water?!
Probably about the same level of evidence for Mohamed flying to Heaven on a winged horse, right?
I gave you an EXAMPLE of what would be considered supernatural. Whether you believe it happend or not is irrelevant.
How would you demonstrate that this was indeed a supernatural event, as opposed to an advanced race using a (non-supernatural) technology that is currently unknown to us?
And no, I am not saying that such a advanced race does indeed exist, only asking how you would go about ruling that possibility out.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
