It's literally impossible to "see the supernatural through science." The things we can see with science are by definition not supernatural.
Do you think science rules out the supernatural or it is completely unrelated to the
supernatural, so one has nothing to do with the other?

You don't have to see the supernatural only the results that may lead you to the
conclusion it was involved. You suppose a natural cause for events you cannot see,
and when those types of explanations fail, you don't throw away your belief in the
natural causes. By faith you believe you'll figure it out later, you reject out of hand
the possibility that natural causes are incapable in some areas.

Suggesting something isn't science because it has a supernatural element to is
also a fantasy, setting up the universe to only look one way by your own design
is ignoring all evidence to the contrary.
When has this ever happened?

So called supernatural events have been investigated for centuries.

Such as?
I'm not speaking of ghosts in terms of supernatural events.
There are not too many things along those lines that interest me as much as the
beginning of all things. You think when applied and looked at with scientific
methods, evidence for a supernatural reality can be found? If not will all such
attempts merely be bogus because science cannot support such claims?

The information found in life that causes life to work as it does is being credited
for something more than natural causes. This doesn't even have reach the level of
the supernatural, but is being fought as if it does.

On the previous page I wrote this:
Empirical science has, from the very beginning, relied exclusively on what is measurable, hence excluding the supernatural. It has not been "redefined," nor does empirical science "reject the possibility of God" or any other supernatural deity or phenomenon.

Was it unclear?

So you agree with what I said about circular reasoning?
No.

🙂 LOL you really do grasp my point!
Why do you feel the need to commandeer and misuse the word "science" for the purposes of your proselytizing?

If you say it doesn't rule it out so it is possible I'm in agreement.

You are applying it to the "knowledge" you claim you obtain from the faith you have in supernatural causality.

Your train of thought is rather fragmented.
Can you please answer questions and then ask one question in response?

Thanks.
