Yes, but if there is demon and ghost, we won't know if they are good or bad, since they cannot interfere with us. (And who says that they must only appear at night?) Supernatural is beyond logic and beyond reality or not conforming to the physical laws as we know them. Its existence is not defined and we have actually not seen one before. Of course, what has happen else where in this universe may be termed as supernatural, but they may be part of a larger physical laws that is still alien to earth.

Darrell has some very strange ideas. > Robert b. Winn You're welcome. I'm afraid that the problem is not with wrong information. Most atheists are more or less normal people, but a few are willing to lie for their belief, and Darrell is one of them. (I've just, regrettably, met another). All the best, Roger Pearse |
