But at times I've wondered about lots of other shit like ghosts, reincarnation, godlike entities and wondered if they could ever be explained by the scientific method.
I'm sure thousands of years ago, lightning and thunder were supernatural events.
Because science can explain them now, they become "natural" events.
Since we don't know everything about our universe, we logically have to conclude that there are still things out there that we can classify as "supernatural". Nothing can of course be "magical" in our known universe, otherwise it "breaks" the laws of the universe. And of course no one has been able to make magic happen in a testable and repeatable fashion.
This is why bibles, qurans, etc, have ZERO scientific merit.
But in those days when they were written, many things were "supernatural", so why not throw in a bit more bullshit, no-one will tell the difference! (Except science)
Thats funny, I am the most scientifically grounded person you will ever meet. With that being said...as a recovering alcoholic and "psycho-prescription" (fucking doctors) drug addict I use to try to prove that my hallucinations were real by setting up experiments. It has been a while but I seem to remember that I was duly impressed and stunned with the results. I wish I would have written down the results of my experiences. I remember thinking that "something" satisfied all of my "five sense criteria" except smell. It is something I have thought about over the years but I am sure I was just unconscious or something. I would never subject my brain to the abuse that it took to get to that state ever again but I would love to find a much safer (and controlled) environment to explore it a bit further. It did set me on a course to further study the brain and quantum physics so I guess its not all bad.
