I'm sorry to confuse you... Well, I don't think there is value in a distinction between natural and supernatural, but if I had to, I would say that we are all supernatural, believing that we are natural (uh, i think that may sound even more confusing ^^'). But I'm more comfortable with "natural". God is definitely natural. No point in adding "super" just to make it sound flashy.

Simplified it's something along these lines: the piano is matter, the music is the spirit. But it doesn't help describing it, just like describing a song won't make you actually hear it... (but that's partly my fault for not being a virtuoso with words, I'll try to think of something better)

Well, once again, you are applying the rubber to the nail, no matter how you hit it, it'll just bounce back (sorry to be annoying XD). But you can't see a microbe with a telescope and neither another planet with a microscope.
How about this: do you believe in virtue? Probably. Can you prove it? Well, I would be surprised. Sure, you can find virtuous people, but there is no material thing such as virtue. Yet, would it not still "exist" and have meaning and value even without people? You see, evidence and existence don't really mean anything in this realm.

Like I said, don't debate with me if you don't want to. I completely understand that Smile .
It's just an excercise, nobody is going to hell for not participating... yet.
