Damning Contradictions
We may not have watertight proof against any specific claim of the supernatural, but the fact that a lot of these claims contradict one another would suggest that not all of them are true. In other words: some claims of the supernatural are most certainly not true, it's just that we don't know which. Unfortunately for believers, this makes all of them rather useless with regard to getting closer to the truth.

So the supernatural is that which would be both real and incorporeal.

Robin, two questions, just out of curiosity:
​
- Could the supernatural exist if there were no conscious beings in the universe?
- Is gravity incorporeal?
