Let's address the issue with the honesty it deserves; supernatural claims are impossible at face value. They are assumed as valid by theists & agnostics based on an argument from ignorance (which you detailed nicely).
"When I release this baseball from my hand, it will fall upwards into the sky and eventually fly off into space." We know this statement is false.
"Gravitus, the god of gravity will make it so when I release this baseball from my hand, it will fall upwards into the sky and eventually fly off into space." What's changed here? I've offered an explanation, but it's not a satisfactory one. It's logical, but not based on sound logic because Gravitus, the god of gravity, isn't proven.
Extra-ordinary claims require extra-ordinary proof.
Thus, your objection to the supernatural is flawed in that it isn't strong enough. Do not let theists hang their arguments upon skyhooks. |
I meant to say that while I can simply reject a claim based on it's supernatural nature, that can't be used as a failsafe method on theism, such many theists go into metaphysics and other stuff, which technically isn't supernatural.
