end of the story
Do we have any evidence against the supernatural?

If the supernatural has physical evidence it ceases to be supernatural.

small dogma
Is the universe evidence of the supernatural? To the fundy next door it might be. But it has to be be decided as reasonable to suggest evidence should be there.

How this brillant universe is evidence for anything but itself is beyond me.

Fantasies
And that's not enough for some people? The arrogance of the believer is truly breathtaking.
​
Their arrogance is robbing them of the real world. They are trapped in the prison of their beleifs and they invite all of us to join them in happy submision to their fantasies.
​
No thanks, make mine real.

Thanks!

Re: Reality
I had a dream of my dad soon after he died (just before I was 5), and for years afterwards I was convinced that his spirit had somehow communicated to me through that dream. But I wanted that to be the case, and that definitely skewed my interpretation. Nowadays I'm not even sure that I had the dream. It seems quite conceivable that it was a false memory.
​
I had the same experience. In fact I had a series of dreams where he seemed to be learning something and then a last one where he said goodby. Seemed more me coming to terms with his death than anything supernatural.
