If something exists, then it is, by definition, part of the natural world. The definition of supernatural does not include non-existance. By now, there's not much left in the supernatural pile. We have angels and poltergeists and deities and the like. The supernatural category has become more and more a preliminary designation, more a holding area awaiting movement to the natural pile. If we ever find that any of those exist, we'll put them in the natural pile. So if we could prove that say the Christian version of God really exists he would then by your definition be "natural" and not "supernatural". Aparrently our disgreement is over the definition of the term supernatural. Tim
