If someone presents a way to evidence the supernatural I am willing to consider it.

We have had several threads on this alone. It seems there never is any agreement on wtf the supernatural is or is not; let alone how it could be evidenced.
​
Iit is like a distinction without a difference.
​
If one can not differentiate between a supernatural event and a natural one then how can we know what is natural and what is not? What is supernatural and what is not?
It is like playing whack a mole. Follow the evidence. oh wait that is supernatural...it can not be evidenced! Why? Because if it was REALLLLYYYY supernatural it would be unevidenced.

Re: honestly?
Hi jar,
​
I respect your beliefs. However we have beaten this particular horse to shoe leather.
​
I for one am comfortable saying that there may be a God.
​
I do not think for a moment we have all the information. But I also do not believe if a God of all existed he would remain unevidenced. So which is it? Do you think God can be evidenced? And if so does that mean God is not supernatural?
I mean no disrepect to you.
