I respect your religious beliefs and the need you seem to have for "some supernatural", but your statement above can be perceived as an insult to the rest of us who don't have any such need. Are you calling us "animals" here?
It's not a "need", it's a logical deduction based upon an understanding of things that possibly lie beyond the three dimensions that constitutes "nature". What you may view as "supernatural" is, for me, merely an extention of that natural environment, but merely an aspect that we cannot physically experience, but logically can have TREMENDOUS impact upon everything within the three lower dimensions, just as we, as 3D creatures can create and direct objects within the second and first dimensions.
Thus, what you call "supernatural" is only that because you refuse to acknowledge its existence as being natural. Once again, like a cartoon character who refuses to believe that it has been created by an animator/writer, just because you refuse to acknowledge the influence of extra-dimensional entities on our lives, doesn't mean that it's not the case.
And since science has effectively proven the likelihood of dimensions beyond our own, there is an implicit logic involved which suggest entities live in those extra dimensions and can influence, or even direct, our lives.
For me, it's no coincidence that the Bible describes God as knowing past, present, and future, all the very same time. And the only manner in which this would be possible were if God existed on a different dimension.
But to address the "need" aspect of believing in supernatural creators, we only have to look at mankind's history and what seems to be an instinctive recognition of something greater than ourselves. Our rational intellect intuitively seems to reject that we're mere animals, living our lives breathing and breeding, only to die and decompose into a puddle of water and elemental minerals.
When one considers the immense implications of sentient life living in extra-dimensional universes, it becomes easier to see our own physical universe as potentially being the creation of one of these beings... A version of "sim-universe3D", running according to natural laws programmed into its "artificial intelligence".. Also known as quantum mechanics.
Afterall, can anyone really explain exactly how "order" was created amongst all of these chaotic sub-atomic particles and wave functions??
And is it so far-fetched to believe that those physical laws of nature are merely part of a cosmological computer code?
