What would make me happy is if the terms could be used without the biases involved, but since that's never going to happen, and classifying everything as 'natural' would confuse people, I submit that this is as big a deal as I'm willing to let it get. : )
Quote:I'd argue that non-physical makes even less sense than "supernatural". Everything is physical, material, even imaginary concepts are all down to brain chemistry otherwise it does not, cannot, exist. Entities should be by definition, physical. A non-physical entity is a contradiction.
That is surely true, but there is not a significant mistrust against ideas and concepts as compared to actual objects made of matter and energy, is what I was saying.
