Impossibility of supernatural life unproven: not being conscious of the supernatural means you are not aware or not able to sense the presence of the supernatural. Being unconscious of the supernatural does not prove it does not exist. For example, we are unconscious of ultrasound and ultraviolet light even though both exist.
I don’t understand what it means for something to exist and not being conscious of it. How else but by conscious means do you suggest to be aware of something’s existence ? Either there is evidence for it, and we can consciously grasp it, or there isn’t. That’s the beginning and the end of ontology.By the way, you’re wrong about ultrasound and ultraviolet light. Have you ever seen those machines they use to look at foetuses in pregnant women ? That measures ultrasound. That is so ridiculous, do you not watch television or never seen a pregnant woman in the hospital or something ? LOL !
One thing is to not perceive X
Another thing is for X to have no effect whatsoever
While beIievers try to conflate the two, this is indeed a problem when: 1. you’re not aware of the limits of perception (think of a caveman/dog/eyeless thing and UV light)
2. your devices cannot measure X (trying to use a hammer to determine the wavelength), or
3. the absence of X is logical and reasonable inside a specific system (no UV light required to make a calculator work)
