So, continuing on that... I wonder too...where the line is drawn, with regards to the supernatural, for those that believe. When does something stop being simply inexplicabnle, and cross over into magic?
Most people who believe in the supernatural couldn't explain why a particular bird lands on a particular shingle of their roof. Is that magic? Why not? How would they know either way? There's got to be some lonely bird-watching soul out there who sees the purple crested boobywharbler for the first time in their miserable lives and feels a sense of the numinous...is it magic then?
These are the questions, lol.
