You mean you haven't investigated the church confirmed miracle of a man having flown around a cathedral five times? Perish the thought.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

An important point, even though it remains to be shown that anything 'supernatural' has ever occurred. There are no uncontroversial cases of which I'm aware.

I just find their purported explanation really unjustified. I don't know how anyone could prove that the 'supernatural' exists at all. Our ability to investigate things scientifically is pretty much by definition bound to things that we can measure, test, manipulate, and act upon. I'm happy to be shown such a mechanism, I just have no idea what it would look like. So far peoples' best mechanisms seem to be "we can't think of anything else" or "science can't explain it".

Yeah, it has always seemed to me an impossible category to make sense of or justify attributing as a cause for anything. Really you would need something like the wizard of Oz to wave away the appearances we call natural and demonstrate an ability to render as real or unreal anything at all. Too weird and in the absence of an uncontroversial instance the entire category is suspect.
I am still not sure why god doesn't talk to most Northern Europeans.
It's the world wars, isn't it....

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
