Have you tried that? Looking for answers? Or have you been content to be terrified of a thing you know nothing about?
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?
Confidence being an expectation built on past experience, evidence and extrapolation to the future. Faith being an expectation held in defiance of past experience and evidence.

Re: Thanks, Science!
For those who think that nothing beyond the natural world ever happens I submit the following:
On several times over the past 40 plus years, I have known in advance what someone was going to ask me and answered without the question being asked. The specifics of the answer are long forgotten but in one instance my mother was in a different room from me, she came in and said, "Superior Mental Being (that is my actual name not stahrwe)." That is all she said, I proceeded to answer her question. She looked at me and said, "How did you know what I was going to ask?"
Good question, how did I know? I don't know but I did. I knew exactly what she was going to ask me before she did. Now, it was not something we had been discussing, ever as far as I remember. I am not clairvoyiant.

SMB, What would it be, exactly, about this occurrence that tells you there is no natural explanation for it? You also indeed seem to be claiming clairvoyance, at least at certain times. That would be where the super-naturalism comes in.

It would be more surprising if this didn't happen at some point over 40 years with someone you know very well.

Thanks science.
A million possible causes, why do you choose magic.
