As some of you will so valiantly declair nuetrality, the default position being a lack of belief in god, rather than being closed off to the possibility.
Taking that stance will leave you inlcined to be open to the supernatural, as the very idea of God implies supernatural. This isn't a 'GOTCHA' question, i have a following proposition.
So, are you open to supernatural evidence?
I generally have no idea what "supernatural" even means, but sure. I'm generally only interested in evidence I can examine in some way, not stories people tell me. The problem tends to be that people define supernatural in such a way that it hides from our detection, and as such, there can't be any evidence of any use to us.
Ghosts are "supernatural" and people believe in them because of "feelings".
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
