Re: "but it is far easier to get data against such existence than there is to support an existence."

>>> I take no position as 'firm' without evidence.

>>> My only point was that science cannot properly concern itself with any area that ultimately is not amenable to testing. The "Supernatural" as broadly writ, is such an area.

>>> If the only 'evidence' offered is 'faith' than this is not subject to the paradigms of testing in the "Natural" world.

>>> I see no real disagreement between us here.

This is a good example of some things that cannot be quantified by science.
