Re: Has The Supernatural Hypothesis Failed?
'The supernatural did it' is a good place holder for people or cultures who cannot get their heads around the natuaralist explanation at any given moment in time.
​
People will become attached to their supernatural conclusions because they are open to 'positive wish fullfullment' that makes us feel all warm and cosey in side but I think, on balance the dominance of 'the supernatural did it' is over for the forseeable future in the developed world [snark]with the possible exception of America[/snark].

Re: Defining terms
No, that is simply a misunderstanding of basic physics.

Don't try to explain physics to Buzz. There are countless threads where Buzz has shown over and again that he is immune to learning about physics.
