Okay, then we disagree. At the heart of reality are the Conservation Laws, or, to quote Professor Bart Ehrman, "Bars of Ivory Soap float but bars of iron sink." This is why people do not walk on water; now, if someone did, I would actively look for fraud, but if that was not present and could be excluded, I would convert to "whatever" religion that claimant asked me to believe in.
If you went out and saw jurasic dinosaurs being chased by green goblins on chariots of flying fish, would you believe in God?
In all cases my belief in reality would be seriously shaken, I would probably question my own sanity ... but wouldn't go scurrying around trying to fit a supernatural deity to the craziness ....
To cut a long story short ... the incredulous examples those that believe in the supernatural offer as a gotcha's are so dishonest.
Lets face it if someone did agree to this nonesense ... then you/they would offer totally mundane evidence for your/their stance and expect belief

Religion is the top shelf of the supernatural supermarket ... Madog
