Atheist VS Naturalist - the latter sounds more appealing to me...

Well..... yeah, what you've posted is all quite good Belaqua.

The one glitch so far is that you have not posted/posited "What Supernatural is."

Just posting 'Singing' and 'Frog' then smooshing the concepts togethet doesn't actually get you to a definition.

On the one hand it's (Possibly) because singing and frogs would seem to be quitre natural.

Yeah... finding them 'Together', as it were, would be 'Different' possibly even strange.  But using this as your example?  *Shakes head*

Antyways... be well Bel.

Cheers.

No, I have been clear in my definition.

A supernatural event is when something does an act which is not possible for its nature. The singing frog was an example.

The nature of the thing is what it is and does. All things are limited. If a thing does something which is over and above its nature, that's supernatural. 

If it turned out that in fact frogs can sing soprano and bass in Italian simultaneously, then it is in their nature and isn't supernatural. If they can't, then it's supernatural. I've been clear about this all along. 

Some people want to make an argument from ignorance and say that if anything occurs, it MUST be natural. Because they don't know how it could be otherwise. But they can't prove it.
