WHY can't you simply answer my questions, kosta???

Rather, you persist in tarring me as a strawman builder, and then start asking me a bunch of questions that I can't answer until or unless you tell me what YOU mean by "natural" and "supernatural." After all, to answer you, I am tasked with finding the language that you would understand. So I need to understand your understanding. Sigh....

I mean, if we can't agree on what we're even talking about, then what's the point of having this discussion? We just keep going 'round and 'round pointlessly, and I'm getting pretty tired of it.

Since evos are so hung up on defining terms, everybody’s terms for that matter, it behooves them to inform everyone what they mean when they use those terms instead of making those they are talking with play guessing games about what they mean.

I sure hope they, as scientists, use more precision than that in their practice of science.

I did, betty boop. Do you really think I was going to pull out a dictionary definition? I simply asked you if God is "natural."

Do you mean to tell me that our understanding of what is 'natural' is so divergent we can't even discuss it? And, conversely, supernatural is everything hypothetical that is 'above' or outside of nature.

Please feel free to define your terms and if we disagree I will use a dictionary to settle this non-issue.
