Per your request, I will ask a single clear question at a time. It is not scientific, but logical.
Can you demonstrate that the conjunction of the following two premises—i.e., “A &B”—results in a logical contradiction?
A: The natural order is coherent; and
B: There is no supernatural category.
The scientific process can be used to determine the supernatural if the correct scientific method is followed.
Scientific method is not bound by the use of telescopes, microscopes and test tubes......but the pure heart and mind shall become our test tube.
The following is the correct scientific method.....
When dealing with the super natural, it is a given that material apparatus must be discarded and different tools to be used in the research..... this would be considered the correct scientific approach. (the right tools for the job)
Therefore science do not have the right tools for the research of the supernatural......so they must investigate to find the right tools.
When they have truthfully investigated and have found the tools presented by Vedanta.............they then have two choices.
1. use those tools and follow the instructions exactly.....or
2. reject those tools and remain lost in their researching of the supernatural.
Not all science people reject the tools of Vedanta, and we have many who are using those tools and are understanding God......but the untruthful science persons reject these tools and then declare that their is no super natural. (this is cheating science)
A contradiction will occur between natural order and the supernatural, where the study of both are not done truthfully.
