Bible: Do you believe in the Supernatural?

I sure do. At bottom, the term refers to anything not evident in the natural universe – the world we experience every day, and detect via the senses.


People for whom “Science” has replaced God as their object of devotion claim to be rational, and view theists as irrational. They purport to know more than they actually do, and dismiss questions about the supernatural as fatuous.


This is an irrational rejection, as the current scientific consensus is that only 5% of the universe is sensed by humans. That’s right – 95% of the universe is “Supernatural.” About one quarter of that is “dark matter” – which tends to contract the universe, and about 70% is “dark energy,” which tries to expand it.


Did you ever hear the term “gravitational field?” It is a bit misleading; one thinks of a “field” as if it were an electro-magnetic field, which can be detected quite easily with simple experiments. Gravity “fields” refer only to the volume within which the gravity of any mass (planet, asteroid) can influence another mass. A little scientific distortion of the word. (I’m not saying I don’t believe in gravity; nor that it can’t be quantified and plotted; it just isn’t like an electro-magnetic field.) If an actual field exists, it must operate in the “dark” with manifestation in the natural.


I leave it to you to ponder, if “Heaven” is in the “dark” or, as could be, outside the universe altogether. (If God made the universe, as we believe, then He must have been outside of it to do so...?)


Isn’t metaphysics fun? We shouldn't be afraid to ask ourselves hard questions. Einstein famously told Niel Bohr, "God does not play dice with the universe. (1927)" Look into what he meant by that...
