EDIT: Ah, I see from your profile you are 19. Seeing as you are still quite young and are blessed with an amazing capacity to suck up knowledge would you be willing to read some books I suggest to you with an open mind?

Wind is but the movement of air, which we can feel and consistently test.
Air exists--this can be proven by many different methods, either directly or indirectly.
Originally posted by dj2beckerYour poetic rhetoric would have been effective in the pre-industrial era, when the means to "see" the wind did not exist. Even so, sight doesn't necessarily outrank touch.

I'm sure you can do better than that.

So you prove that the wind exists because of some personal experience of the senses?

the point, dj2, is that your analogies here are really sucky: you are referring to natural things and trying to generalize to supernatural things.
that is why no one is giving you the time of day in this thread.

Now please go and look up the difference between supernatural and natural.

It's not 'which ' of its physical qualities that makes it natural, but that it 'has' physical qualities.
