[B]I was just wondering what people's views on this were. Is supernatural a possible synonym for scientifically unproven? [/QUOTE]

You know with the mind I have today in the context of the 80s I might have answered this question in the affirmative but the sociology for any of this science SEEMS not to have borne this out. CHop hop. I now understand and I really do mean by that word that i do not stand under this understading how not only a the more or less phenetist Humphries wrongly in my case asserted statistics where I was not ready to decide on Fisher/Wright but more generally how Boyd could IN HIS VERY OWN REALISM think that I was being religous or creationist WHEN I WAS TRYING TO WORK ON GOULD'S IDEA OF A NEW EVOLUTIOANRY THEORY EMERGING becuase his use of writing did something in a science that does not think but was unable, becasue they were not students having to trasit the electric typewriter to click and paste metaphysical anthropology contexts and could only grade work based on common sense starts that for this student at least had been aired on the phone for the perception that in an earlier generation was what counted itself as what qualifed in and of the good student. It is going to always bee a problem to explain to the NExt generation what the rotary phone did not do for me that people think digitization is doing. It is not. That it could. well it might but it is not niave then even if real.
This simple trip in the history of philosophy however is not religion and thus even on AD White's terms the new computer medium acutally casued exclusion of the very reading that Created Cornell. It is not Ironinc because the Rommance studies HAVE to be found on the other end of GOldwin Smith but that some Catholic English Prof's OFFIce is in the Sage Phil Dept IS ironic. One could percieve where the phone would ring but not when that is even now being couched cellularly wrongly again.
So No, the supernatural really is supernatural and is something that my perhaps be thought to be experienced on SUNDAY at Sage Chappel but certainly not on the Arts, Ag or Eng Quads. They are seperated but the induction is not fully explained if still this conduction will not work for the wire it flows flux on.
