Here is Clear Scientific Proof that the Supernatural Exists

It has been repeatedly claimed that there is no scientifically valid evidence for the supernatural; however this claim has been in the absence of a scientific definition of supernatural. It a previous article (A Scientific Definition of Supernatural ) I made the case that a supernatural event would then be any event that has a caused out side the Universe.

Based on this definition there is a scientifically recognized even that without question has to be a supernatural event. The prime evidence for this event it the fact you exist to read this article. The supernatural event I am referring to is the beginning of Universe. The fact that the universe had a beginning is a well established scientific fact.

Now regardless of how the Universe actually began it had to be started from outside itself. This is evident from the fact that until the universe existed there was no inside the universe and so the cause that started the universe had to be out side of it.

The fore the beginning of the Universe by definition has to be a supernatural event.

Here Is a Declaration of a Scientific Definition of the Supernatural

Is science capable of considering and studying the supernatural? Answering this question requires there to be a scientific definition of supernatural. Unfortunately no official scientific definition of supernatural has ever been established. The reason this is the fact that there is the desire on the part of the scientific establishment to keep any consideration of the supernatural out of science. 

To find a scientific definition of supernatural it is necessary to start with a standard dictionary definition of supernatural.  According to The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language the primary definition of supernatural is “Of or relating to existence outside the natural world.”

Since the natural world consists of ther entire universe, it is logical to rephrase this definition as “Of or relating to existence outside the Universe.” This makes for a perfect scientific definition of supernatural.

So here is a perfect scientific definition of supernatural.

Supernatural: Of or relating to existence outside the Universe.
Supernatural event: Aany event that has a caused out side the Universe.

Now while this definition allows for an influence by a supernatural intelligence such as God, it does not intrinsically require that there be any intelligents involved an would include totally mechanistic causes from out side the universe.

Science and Religion

"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind." Said Albert Einstein
Science and religion are often seen as rivals and establishment science and religion some times have conflicts. This is because the Scientific Establishment refuses to allow any consideration of God or the supernatural.  When allowed to do so science and religion can compliment each other. That fact is that religion can inspire scientific research and science can help the understanding of religion.

Creation Science it a good example it shows this concept in action. Starting with the Bible has produced successfully tested predictions and science has provided useful insight into a number of Biblical passages.

Examples of theories inspired by the Bible with successful predictions: accelerated nuclear decay which successfully predicted zircon helium diffusion rates and Humphreys’ model of planetary magnetic fields which predicted the magnetic field strength of Neptune and the observed decrease in Mercury’s magnetic field.

Further mote science has helped the understanding some Biblical passages.

Job 38:4a Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?

Most of the dry land on the planet Earth sits on a granite crust that goes deep into the Earth. This crust is literally a foundation on which the continents sit.

Job 9:6 Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.

This verse refers to earth quakes but also to pillars of the Earth. Often in caves stalactites and stalagmites grow stalactite over stalagmite. Sometimes they grow into a single pillar from floor to ceiling forming literal pillars of the Earth.

The point science and religion can complement each other. However this requires that science to be open to religious or supernatural concepts. Refusing to even consider religious concepts is being antagonistic to religion.

The fact is that the scientific establishment refuses any consideration of the supernatural. The result is that when mainstream science and religion deal with the same topic there will be conflict with the exception of Atheism which denies the supernatural.  

This conflict is most evident in origins research where the denial of the supernatural eliminates all consideration of God. So God is excluded before any evidence is even considered and any attempt to include intelligent involvement in origins is fought passionately. This makes the scientific establishment actively antagonistic to the Biblical account of creation. It has been removed from consideration even before any evidence is considered.

The scientific establishment at fault because they exclude God and the supernatural right from the start before evidence is even looked at, no consideration of intelligent involvement in origins is allowed and they are antagonistic toward those who violate these rules.

A classic example is Richard Sternberg; a devout evolutionist; was editor of The Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington in 2004. He authorized the publication of a paper by Dr. Stephen Meyer that had passed peer-review. The paper “The Origin of Biological Information and the Higher Taxonomic Categories” presented scientific evidence for intelligent design in biology. As a result he was persecution by the  Smithsonian and the National Center for Science Education. It’s a safe bet no other editor would risk the same fate by publishing an ID friendly paper.

The real controversy is that by refusing any consideration of God the scientific establishment is pushing atheism. So the real controversy is not science vs. religion not Creation vs. Evolution. The real controversy IS Atheism vs. Theism and more specifically Atheism Vs. the Bible.

In Conclusion the scientific establishment refuses any consideration of God and no dissent on this is tolerated. They have effectively declared war on God and the controversy results form the refusal of theists to bow the knee to atheism.
