If a phenomenon can be observed, or if its effects can be observed, it is not supernatural. It hypothetically could be capricious beyond our ability to understand, but it would not be supernatural.

There is, by the way, a million dollars waiting for anyone able to demonstrate a phenomenon requiring a supernatural explanation.

The standards are not particularly difficult. Any phenomenon such as clairvoyance, ESP or the like will do. Thousands of people claim to have such powers.

Thank you for your reply!

I know what you mean however I must disagree with you on a fine point, which I'm confident comes as no surprise to you (LOL!).

Christians who have received a direct revelation from God - that Jesus Christ is Lord and are thereafter indwelled by the Holy Spirit - do in fact observe, or experience if you will, the supernatural. The experience cannot however be conveyed to another through language, measurement and such. Like qualia (pain/pleasure, likes/dislikes), the only way another can understand is to have the experience himself.

What if a Man rose from the dead? Would that be supernatural?

Cordially,
