The Standard Model of particle physics—the reigning theory of these morsels—describes a small collection of known species that combine in myriad ways to build the matter around us and carry the forces of nature. Yet physicists know that these particles cannot be all there is—they do not account for the dark matter or dark energy that seem to contribute much of the universe’s mass, for example.
Well that puts a damper on the supra-natural explanation, but it is still very exciting to consider that we may soon be arguing over which Diety manipulates subatomic particles!

If there were scales where the universe operated by a different set of laws, could we say it's natural? How about bi-natural or quazi-natural? Perhaps quantum mechanics operates at the subnatural world?

Ant, you darling puppy.

Run with that bone. RUN WITH IT!

This is as supernatural as mercury's odd orbit around the sun. Newton's theory of gravity couldn't account for it.

Are you pushing your own short comings on us and safely hating them from a distance?

Is this the virtue of faith? To never change your mind: especially when you should?

Young Earth Creationists take offense at the idea that we have a common heritage with other animals. Why is being the descendant of a mud golem any better?

I use the word all the time. It's not about the word, it's about the delivery and context. You can't seem to post anything without a snide jab or insult or some other trollish comment. It's getting old.

Ant does this because you guys keep taking the bait. If you'd ignore him, he'd go away and get his jollies somewhere else.
