Thank you for your reply!

If a phenomenon can be observed, or if its effects can be observed, it is not supernatural.

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.

True.. thats amazing in itself, ain't it...
What a plan.. We truely are spirits here(this planet) for a human experience.. That experience seeming to be, Do you want to remain, or be happy with being, a Primate or are you open to something else?.. Shazzam, now, thats what I call Evolution..
