Before We Discuss Whether God Exists, I Have A Question

How does that work?  What about the supernatural makes it detectable at all, let alone easily?

A definition of the supernatural, I think it's up to the proponents of the supernatural to define. I've never given it a moments thought because it's such a contradiction in terms and I think this is what you're getting at. If it's real then it's natural thus the prefix 'super' is superfluous.

Snipped from a post I made last week in the homework thread:


If the supernatural were to exist then the force by which it operates will be all pervasive, it would permeate the entire universe and we would detect it using one or more of these: 

  1. Gravitational Force.
  2. Weak Nuclear Force.
  3. Electromagnetic Force.
  4. Strong Nuclear Force.

These are the forces of nature. If another force were to exist then it must interact with one or more of the above and would be trivially easy to detect.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
