Studying the supernatural

Also, if a supernatural being was able to affect the natural world, then we could study these effects.
Granted, we would not be able to draw many conclusions, but we could study these 'occurrences'.
e.g.
If the FSM turned chickens into intelligent mammals over-night then we could definitely study these changes.

If you consider "studying the effects of a supernatural being" to be the same as "studying a supernatural being" then I would answer: yes.Being able to differentiate between "natural effects" and "supernatural effects" would be difficult, though.
I expect we would require something as sudden and as impossible as the chicken example above.

Aah...but you don't 'know' he used the 'K' word.
You only know he "Knows" that you know that he knows, don't 'cha know.

I think you'll find that Chuckles couldn't find an answer to your request for a way to differentiate him from any other poster (let alone a supernatural poster) and so he instead cried foul.Edited by Panda, : No reason given.
