Nothing you’ve stated, even if 100% true, proves there is a supernatural realm, especially one where the rules and explanations you are attempting to get others to buy into, exists, in any way.

Are you sure you understand what you mean by the word “supernatural?”

If you are indeed an atheist (incongruous on this pro-God, pro-Bible forum) for some reason, then you also must have much faith. For to believe that an exceedingly vast, systematically ordered universe, exquisitely finely tuned for diverse corporeal life of with intricate, astounding complexity, can be all a result of purely natural processes requires much faith. More so than that the universe logically testifies to design, requiring a First Cause (at the least), that of a powerful being of supreme intelligence being behind the existence of energy and programming and thus the organization of matter.

Of course, besides proffering the possibility of an eternally per-existent universe as the First Cause (which essentially would assign powers of deity to it), some atheists will allow for the existence of aliens, which apparently defy the known laws of physics, but which must not be allowed to be supernatural, as God must be excluded even as a hypothesis.

If they COULD be proven, then there’d be no faith.

My advice is to stay off roads named Damascus Drive, or Street, or Way...
I know, I know you need no advice... so be it.
