Everything else you wrote is sleight of hand, I'm afraid; palming the supernatural card on the strength of a more reasonable example.I'll give you another example to make the point, which wasn't about whether Aboriginal trackers had access to supernatural powers,
but to show that just because something cannot be percieved does not mean it doesn't exist.
According to scientific records, the Higgs boson did not exist until it was named, yet it was always there. Now that it is acknowledged, it can be proven to exist, even without seeing the tests that demonstarted it, because of the physical principles.
Once again, this isn't an invitation to discuss the Higgs boson, which I will not discuss on this thread.
The whole point is that people are not stupid, because they happen to know something others cannot percieve...
And in the case of religion, the truth is hidden under a pile of lies, and those lies are used as an excuse not to find the truth as it is written in the Bible.

Fuck off! I'll shop around all I want God! You do want me to make sure I'm worshipping the one true God, don't you?
How can I know which is the one true God unless I check 'em out? Derrrrrr!!! For a God, you're pretty dumb ...
Or is there a reason why you don't want me to check out the competition?
Yep, shop around, that's what you are meant to do. But how does that relate to the subject?
