I’ve been laughed at for saying that God was smart enough to think up evolution...by folks on BOTH SIDES ;-)

I've gotten the same thing for saying that the Shroud of Turin is a natural, unintended phenomenon. Both sides.

Actually, the Shroud fascinates me - there are so many questions.

What do you mean when you say that it’s ‘natural’ and ‘unintended’?

It seems to me that both could be true, while the Shroud remained inexplicable by current science; and thus considered SUPERnatural.

I don’t really believe in the notion of ‘supernatural’ - if something happens, it’s Natural, though we may not understand it yet - but we’re stuck with the language, for now...

(I can’t remember who it was - perhaps one of the Huxleys - who said that if he saw something that seemed ‘supernatural’, he would not assume that it was so; but that it must have been operating according to a law that science simply hadn’t grasped yet.)
