Does the existence of folklore disprove claims of evolution as well? Can anyone use this type of reasoning to reject any evidence the don't want to admit?  I don't think that this is an argument.

Are you really this impaired in your thinking?

I find the reasoning bad... but I don’t think that it gets better when you do it.

Inferring from the nearly 6.8 billion people (almost 9 out of 10) who believe in the supernatural AND the 10,000 years of history where we see the same. Of course I might be wrong and it's all because of the superb evidence we are hiding from the little atheist population. 

Alternatively it could be poor education in critical thinking skills rather than being hard wired from birth to believe in the supernatural like you are saying.

Sorry I forgot that atheist arguments only apply to the things they want. I shouldn’t use the “reasoning” elsewhere

Fixed that

Too bad your comparison does not even come close to what Jorm. And your"reasoning" is anything but .

Not to mention the fact that the number of people who accept the supernatural is meaningless to the existence of it or why we should by claims of it .
