The Unexplained!

Here is something that really bugs me about people especially those that consider themselves to be scientists is the used of the following two words: Supernatural & Paranormal.  If you look this words up in the dictionary they have a common terms associated with them:

"beyond the scope of normal scientific understanding" or "beyond scientific understanding or the laws of nature"

Effectively the phenomena is unexplained, why o’ why do we have to have two words for one word.  Unexplained means that science has not got around to figuring out why this happens.

The problem really begins when people associate these words with pseudoscience and immediately anything that is unexplained falls into this category.  Whereby no serious scientist will even look into it for fear their reputation, if it was just left as unexplained then this problem would be mitigated somewhat.

Supernatural is associated with religion which is pointless since it has been proven that the gods exists along with the less nice entities like Cthulhu despite what the bulk of the public believe or should I say what the Empire wishes us to believe.  They are not super anything, they exist end of story and as we all know religion is just a dogmatic belief structure that has no real value when connected to beings that are fact.  Of course the issue comes with understanding the answers they supply which is where religion comes in, the priests interpret who are just as unlikely to understand the answer as anyone else.  The dogma is man-made and completely meaningless like many historic traditions.

I have digressed somewhat from my original rant, nothing in nature is unnatural except in the eyes of a dogmatic majority.  It is unexplained get over it people!
