Do you believe in it or not, and to what degree?

Is it still around? Shit went down under tbh

Supernatural came to Australia? When was that and why didn't anyone inform me that Dean Winchester was in my neighbourhood?
Yeah it's still on, summer break atm, coming back October as always.

In regards to the thread. If I see a supernatural thing I'll believe in it, I guess. It'd be cool if supernatural beings existed. I am interested in the occult and mythology, but until someone shows me some proof it remains just that. A myth.

if it's a myth then why are people so dedicated to it. wouldn't they give up after a series of disappointments?

I do believe in natural. The so called supernatural is an unknown natural.

I don't believe but I'd really want to. I like hearing stories about people and their encounters with the supernatural. I've even gone to places that are supposed to be haunted. It's thrilling, but I've had no such luck in encountering a supernatural being.

You could argue that if supernatural things are real then they are natural.
I don't really have anything supernatural I believe in but if I see videos of ghosts or something I don't dismiss them completely.

I've had an incident so yeah I do believe in it.

I've had "incidents" too or at least I thought I did, but people see what they want to see and memory is a fickle thing.

People have been claiming to have seen various supernatural events throughout all of human history, but it's funny how there is absolutely no tangible evidence of even one single occurrence.

things are called supernatural until we can find an explanation we can mostly agree on. Then it becomes natural.

If I were to see it I would believe it, but I haven't seen anything to prove it's existence.

I'm not saying it's a fact, I'm just saying I believe in it. I won't try to prove something I have little evidence for, but personal experience is difficult to just shrug off. Normally, I'd just chalk it up to me wanting to believe something, but I've learned to take experiences more seriously nowadays and give them a little bit of stock.

Many people believe they've had experiences, including myself, and what it really boils down to is seeing or thinking we saw something we didn't understand and rationalize as best we could at the time. And as time moves forward, we forget what we really saw and start imagining what we think we saw.

I'm sorry, but there's no such thing as the supernatural. There's been plenty of time in human history to prove its existence and if so many people claim to have seen the supernatural, then it would have been provable; but it's not, because it's not real.

People claimed to be able to be physic, to be in tune with the afterlife, to be able to do witchcraft, to be able to speak with gods; yet all of that has been debunked. There are institutions that offer millions of dollars to people who could prove such a thing, yet no one has been able to.

It's just the yearning to want something more than what we have. That's it.

It not being naturally provable doesn't mean it doesn't exist it just means we don't have the capability to prove it, but in same regard your assumption is based on if it hasn't been falsified it doesn't exist

Do you really believe every person that has a supposed supernatural experience are people that just lie to themselves to believe it

Supernatural doesn't even have to relate to mysticism supernatural just entails things as humans what we can't readily see, anything in sciences start off as a belief to be falsified and a theory might not be proven or disproven till centuries or even millennium later.

It's true perception shouldn't be end all be all for truth it can be false but it should be accounted for many people alk around the world have these experiences they shouldn't be simply dismissed as just people lying to themselves it's an convenient answer but not a true explanation

You don't know for a fact that the supernatural doesn't exist. Have you looked everywhere? It's like saying God doesn't exist. Neither you nor I can prove our positions.

Well the idea of supernatural begin after what people tried to understand the world use "gods".

The creation of the universe can be explained mathematically, without God a factor. Does God and the supernatural exist? Maybe? But there is no evidence to support the existence of either.

I'm a realist and I build on a foundation of what is tangible. God and the supernatural have no tangible evidence of their existence. Until there is some evidence of God or the supernatural that is able to be proven, I find it pointless to speculate on their existence since the only thing people base their belief in God or the supernatural is faith.

You also have to take into account that throughout all of human history, how many religions have existed? God or God(s) were always just a convenient way to explain the workings of a world which people at the time didn't understand.

Science is objective and if the existence of God or the supernatural was real, then science would take it into account. But as it stands now, no such evidence has been procured and all Gods of all religions have essentially been debunked. There is no Olympus, Valhalla, Xibalba, and the what is written in the Bible, Quran, and the Talmud is historically inaccurate and contradictory which raises questions about the validity of those texts.
