Why must the effects of ‘supernatural phenomena’ be precluded from consideration in studies pertaining to diseases like cancer, particularly when diseases have been a mode of exerting influence by the divinity figure of your faith?

I would like to bring something else to this table of discussion.Not all athiest or agnostics use the bible and or science in their beliefs. Some could care less how the bible compares to science. They live their lives, day to day, making their way through life with no other intent other than to make it to the next.They understand that medicine/science can cure some diseases without themselves having a medical or science degree. They also know that some people believe in divine intervention and need religion in their lives even though they themselves don't feel a need for it.Most all of these threads deal with belief or non belief in the bible.Not everyone cares about how the world or humans began or even if there is such a thing as eternal salvation.As far as I am concerned, there is not enough information or facts on either side of this argument to make any definite conclusion except that one day we are all gonna die.The believer prays for salvation and the non believer hopes he/she has not been a disappointment to their families and loved ones.The truth of the matter is when the light does goes out, no one knows whats in store for them.

It could be that supernatural forces explain cancer. But I doubt a researcher could get funding to investigate the question.

Remember, I’m speaking to conventional science, hoping to remind you and/or others that conventional science met its limit when the Big Bang was verified.

The atheist has two choices: reject conventional science or accept the fact of extra-natural phenomena.
