Not sure where we can take this discussion further. You're ruling out the idea that anything supernatural can exist or is imaginable for you. So ....

On the subject of the existence of God, for anyone who's interested in the issue - an excellent book is The Question of God by Armand Nicholi Jr.

It explores the beliefs and life-long writings of Sigmund Freud and C. S. Lewis on the subject of God. The author has taught a course at Harvard and Harvard Medical School comparing and contrasting their views for the last couple decades. I read the book a couple months ago and found it so interesting I immediately went back to the beginning and re-read it after finishing the first reading. Something I can 't recall ever doing.

Both Freud and Lewis were raised in religious homes and both became atheists in their teens. Freud ramained an atheist till his death, while Lewis of course converted to Christianity in midlife. Both men wrote a lot about God throughout their lives so their beliefs and the effect of their beliefs can be discerned.
