[QUOTE="Mutineer, post: 4859007, member: 69587"] How about this? A supernatural experience. The supernatural is impossible to prove or disprove. I have yet to have had one. Nothing even close. Sort of like winning the lottery. That only seems to happen to 'other' people. Personally, I do not play the lottery. Therefore, it's no surprise that I never win. As with the paranormal, it only seems to happen to 'other' people. I do not believe in a creator, go to church, or otherwise seek it. I do not play that 'lottery'. And isn't it somewhere in scripture that reads "as ye seek so shall ye find." ? Having a supernatural experience would go a very long way towards convincing me of the notion of a creator. I personally know only one credible person who has claimed to have seen a ghost. Would it be reasonable to say that if a person believes in a god, by default, that person also believes in ghosts, and that a paranormal manifestation and a creator are the same kind of entity? And that would open a door to all kinds of ooga-booga. I think it should be considered that there are some things that human beings are simply not equipped to understand. [/QUOTE]
