The existence of a great deal of things - even those called scientific - is questionable until somebody finds a way to prove them beyond doubt.
"Supernatural" is just a nasty word that most of the time gets in the way of people considering the subject the same way they would consider anything else. It probably doesn't help that it's also the word a lot of people use to make it sound grand, wether they can actually use such abilities or just like to make others believe they can.

As to what can be considered "reasonable and logical", that's kind of relative. Take the history of astronomy, for example. How many "absurd" concepts emerged over the centuries that eventually were proven correct, and some of them are still more than weird enough for an educated person to grasp.

The way I see it, in a universe where - as far as it as been logically proven - everything is ultimatelly made up of energy, there should certainly be room for enough of "supernatural" stuff to happen.
Of course, you can also resort to the shrink type of explanation and say that such people just suffer from such an such condition, in which the "supernatural" is their way of getting attention - if they're not actually hallucinating, that is.
Still, I have yet to find a "reasonable and logical" explanation for seeing 3 people all simultaneously hallucinating about the same thing. I guess they all suffered from the same mental problems, since all had exactly the same backgrounds and personalities...

To understand our own limits and abilities, and to have the courage to accept what we find to be true is the least we as a people should do.

I have nothing against being an average Jane. If I want to show off, I can do it in a lot of different "reasonable" ways. It bugs me, though, that people will so quickly dismiss a concept that has been with humanity forever. Smoke and fire, and all that...

It has some really interesting info on there, as far as our mind power, and reprogramming our brains to a new way of working...activating other strands of dna that are inactive...

Discuss.

There can be no such thing as the "supernatural". If such abilities and powers exist, they are simply another part of nature. The term "supernatural" inherently describes something that doesn't exist.
