Most "super natural" things through history have been proven or dismissed with the aid of science.

It hurts their ego to accept they don't have it all figured out or that they're the highest-knowing species or something. Yeah...pretty sad.

i dont really know what your saying can you rephrase that please

In the western world, we have a few centuries of Rationalism to thank for skepticism of everything...but it seems to be backfiring. I hear people doubting things that have ample proof or believing things that are plainly preposterous...the New Age is definitely fighting rationalism.

While I don't believe in the Christian "God", or any other god for that matter, I do believe that there are things in this world science can't explain yet. I think that since we can't explain them, people explain them within the context of their religion, or belief system. These things are there, we just all call them something different. I fully agree that we are all part of it, some folks just can't get in touch with their higher self (beyond ego) in order to embrace it.

For example, why deny God? Much, probably most, of unbelievers problems with God and the Bible come from lack of understanding of worldview. Rational natural science ("science") stipulates at the outset that it seeks natural answers from the material world accessible to our senses. This is a condition science places on itself. Christians have a different worldview which does not rule out supernatural phenomena. It allows for the existence of God outside the material world. How shall we choose between them? We use our God-given intelligence, that's how. Loren Eisley, biologist and evolutionist, said this: "The philosophy of experimental science... began its discoveries and and made use of its methods in the faith, not the knowledge, that it was dealing with a rational universe controlled by a creator who did not act upon whim nor interfere with the forces He had set in operation... It is surely one of the curious paradoxes of history that science, which professionally has little to do (see next) pokeypup Jun, 27 2009 at 11:42 AM [Edit] with faith, owes its origins to an act of faith that the universe can be rationally interpreted, and that science today is sustained by that assumption." L.Eisley, Darwin's Century, Anchor NY, Doubleday 1961. Isaac Newton, Michael Faraday, Robert Boyle, John Dalton, Linneaus, Mendel and Pasteur are just some of the founders of modern physics, chemistry and biology who believed in God and thus had reason to believe in an orderly universe that men created in God's image could understand. Eventually all this God-denying thinking will be shown for the fraud that it is. This world we live in is more than we can see. There are things science cannot explain with its limited world view. I pray that all atheists come to their senses before it is too late. Laugh if you will, but use your intelligence if you can to refute this view.

Sanity

Some people are just born Flatlanders.

I don't believe in anything supernatural, because I have yet to see any proof. And blurry tapes or interviews with people who have "seen" these experiences isn't very convincing in my opinion. I don't think its denying it because I would gladly believe in angels or ghosts should would decide to grace me with its presence. I am guessing don't believe in everything supernatural or urban legend out there, so what's so wrong in keeping your mind open, while not being naive? If I am proved wrong then so be it, but that event has yet to happen in my life.

Because the supernatural is mostly, if not always ridiculous. People profess a belief in god, but not fairys or unicorns. Why believe in one and not the others?

There are many things in the universe that we don't understand....yet.

Because it cannot be explained, this does not void an explanation. Just because we don't comprehend doesn't make it all magical and shit. Also, not agreeing with your opinion isn't "dismissal". Some people have different approaches.

It's all thanks to SCIENCE...Now everything "could be explained by science"...even something isn't, "it's just a matter of time"... Like Melinda Gordon said in Ghost whisperer... "We're called nuts,freak or crazy because of our gift"

Some people will believe anything. If you take just religions and leave out all the other supernatural stuff, they clearly can't all be right since many of them are mutually exclusive. Since they can't all be right yet all are strong in their beliefs, clearly belief is not enough to prove something true. Something else is needed, like evidence. The onus is on the person making the supernatural claim to prove that they are right, not for everyone else to prove that they are wrong.
