I just have a problem with the concept of the supernatural. Logically, I can't make sense of it. Don't some Christians believe that there are two sources of revelation: the bible and the natural world. if God created everything, then everything we find in the natural world is more revelation into what God created. If there are aspects of the natural world which we haven't the capacity to perceive, that isn't evidence for a "supernatural" category. There is every reason to believe that even that which we can't directly perceive can yet be detected through it effects, as with gravity. Even a putative God who created everything is knowable indirectly through the study of that which was created. To my mind, that means that even God is natural enough in so far as He can interact with the natural world. What does the word "supernatural" get you in all this?
