As some of you will so valiantly declair nuetrality, the default position being a lack of belief in god, rather than being closed off to the possibility.
Taking that stance will leave you inlcined to be open to the supernatural, as the very idea of God implies supernatural. This isn't a 'GOTCHA' question, i have a following proposition.
So, are you open to supernatural evidence?
From long experience the thread will quickly turn to semantics. The argument will be that everything previously thought supernatural later got rolled into natural. Blah blah blah. When in fact the opposite happened. We expanded the definition of natural to encompass previously dismissed phenomena.
Anything that violates the Conservation of Energy (say, walking on water) must be regarded as being supernatural. If physics is wrong about the conservation laws, then what is left of science?
