Yeah, there is no hard evidence for the supernatural that can be presented, tested, experimented, etc. That's kind of the whole point of the supernatural - if it does exist, it is beyond our natural, physical world and cant be "proven".
We come to our beliefs based on conjecture, educated guesses, maybe some personal experience if we've been lucky enough to have one, and lastly hope.
I appreciate this remark. Out of curiosity, what do you think about people who try to establish the existence of the supernatural via naturalistic means such as reason and logic? In your opinion, does this contradict the whole idea of faith?
Also, by the definition of supernatural in bold, if an individual claims that something is beyond the physical, natural world, then is that claim completely free of the human mind's inability to understand it? How does one differentiate "beyond the human mind's ability to understand" from "beyond the natural, physical world"? Is it possible that there may be an unexplored/overlooked intermediate step here? Thanks.
