As I posted earlier, to rule the supernatural out, you have to first demonstrate the existence of the supernatural. You can't use the scientific method, that only applies to the natural, it renders any claims of the supernatural irrelevant. What method would you use? Okay.....MY method would be this....'Technically' speaking, I should remain 'Agnostic' about the 'Supernatural'.... We can remain 'Agnostic' about a great many things. I can remain 'Agnostic' that there are 'Leprechauns' living at the bottom of my Garden...I can't prove it one way or the other...I prefer to believe that there aren't. Science excludes the Supernatural because it can't be tested or verified by ANY means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(my bold) So as per your example ''Leprechauns' living at the bottom of my Garden...I can't prove it one way or the other...I prefer to believe that there aren't." Is there anything that you're agnostic about, that you prefer to believe does exist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite...I think you mean something that I do believe in?.... the SUN...And the energy that it gives for Life to arise. on planet Earth. The Sun can be seen and believed in.

Is there anything that you're agnostic about, that you prefer to believe does exist? That's a tricky question...and a good one. What I prefer?... That lends a whole new aspect. 18 minutes ago, SnailyBoy said: Edited April 3, 2019 by FinBak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
