The supernatural is an event or thing that is *impossible* to be explained using natural means
Literally impossible, you can't explain it no matter what
The paranormal however can be explained
This is why it's in the Christian teaching that trying to explain God is blasphemy
wat
lol
Yes, we're taught the we cannot understand God
that doesn't mean you can try to explain God
saying something is beyond our complete comprehension does not mean, "every facet is beyond comprehension"
But that's the definition of the supernatural
That you cannot use natural means to explain it
Therefore it's impossible
You can't explain it no matter how hard you try
and?
That means that things like ghost sightings are not supernatural
They're paranormal
and?
This is why atheists can believe in ghosts
holy fuck you're stupid
lol
Tell me where I got this wrong
ok, let's try this from another direction
I don't believe in a higher power exists
I have only about 2-3 more minutes though so yeah
I believe that when a person dies there is something that is left behind
a force/spirit/we
are those contradictory statements?
Depends on whether that force/spirit can be explained or not
can't explain it
it's weird
If it's not possible to explain it, then it's not a paranormal phenomenon, but a supernatural one
are they contradictory now?
I recommend reading up on the difference between supernatural and paranormal
I'm aware of the differences
answer the question
No you're clearly not
You didn't even know what supernatural means
are the statements contradictory
Since you answered that they can't be explained (using natural means), that means they're contradictory
how are they contradictory
