Why science and religious fatih need not be in conflict: It's as easy as 1-2-3!

Since the line between natural and supernatural seems fuzzy depending on where one is at in time, I prefer to talk about the uncanny. Uncanny experiences are ubiquitous. Every family has a story to tell. Now clearly parting seas and walking on water take the uncanny to a whole 'nother level, but I would not say that spiritual experiences are in any way one-time events.

In any case if you want to describe me as 'stuck' on some lower level of consciousness, I suppose I could reply with something about those who suppress the truth in unrighteousness or some such thing, but i doubt that would get very far nor do I think it would be very sporting.

The line isn't fuzzy because it doesn't exist, because there is no supernatural.  Uncanny experiences happen, and people can be very imaginative in "explaining" them. Others are less imaginative and swallow these stories whole.
