Indeed, qualia can only be experienced, not conveyed.

Yet.

And it is no less real in spite of the fact that there is no substance to them.

There is more to reality than the physical, material world in which we find ourselves.

One thing that I think many of the atheist/evo/scientist types forget is that we know and understand today because of the increase of knowledge and technology, would be considered the supernatural of years gone by. Being supernatural doesn’t mean that there’s no explanation for it, nor even a good one. It simply means that we don’t know yet.

To God, there is no supernatural. But he is omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, so He has full knowledge.

So those materialists who write off stuff as superstition are no better than those the denigrate because THEY are the ones impeding the advance of knowledge. By labeling something as *supernatural* and then claiming that science does not deal with the *supernatural* they are excluding it from study in which we might actually learn something.

Not everything that appears random necessarily is. It only appears that way to those who have not figured it out yet. But to exclude something from study because we don’t understand it yet is the height of folly. They then end up doing the very thing they condemn.

They’re cutting off their nose to spite their face.
