Ghosts aren't supernatural. The majority of reports are examples of natural phenomena- like infrasound- and even the genuine ones are preternatural rather than supernatural.

Yep. Sounds legit.

Jesus wasn't a lich. He didn't use a phylactery to resurrect.

At the end of the day, the supernatural, be it God or otherwise, needs some kind of physical form. Otherwise, it isn't anything at all. Science has quite a lot to do with physical forms, be they divine or otherwise.

So at best, you can claim that our current knowledge of science is insufficient to properly study the supernatural. You cannot, however, by any realistic standard, claim that it's totally incapable of doing so.

I don't see any evidence that this is true.

I have no idea what would constitute such proof.

Ghosts aren't supernatural. The majority of reports are examples of natural phenomena- like infrasound- and even the genuine ones are preternatural rather than supernatural.


Still, most things can be explained by science. We just have to find the solutions, or think to look for them.

Indeed. He learned magick in Egypt, which enabled him to perform those pranks which were called miracles.
