“There is no “supernatural”

That is an atheist premise.

There is no supernatural


That’s a rather enormously arrogant statement.
Basically - I somehow know that nothing exists beyond my ability to observe it.

If an atheist says it he means it in a completely different sense than I do. I mean that separating the natural universe and its laws from its Creator and Law Giver by labeling something we don’t or can’t understand as “supernatural” creates a false dichotomy. Atheism is based on denying the existence of one side of that dichotomy. I have known too many scientists who devoutly believe in God, as do I, to think they are all blind to the wonder and implications of the nature they study or so conceited that they believe what they can explain is all there is. Science can no more contradict the existence of God than a clay pot can contradict the existence of the potter.
