Or does it make it more real than anything?

Most people tend to believe if something can't be explained that it's a myth of some sort. I disagree, and I get a lot of flak for it, I do. But that's a part of being different. :)

The supernatural is simply that which we have not figured out yet. If we were to have the ablity to go back in time and take our stuff with us and have it work the people back then would think of us as either witches, deamons or gods. we really would not be, but they would think so as they would not be able to explain a car, or a light bulb, or a phone, ect. We are just learning the powers of the mind and spirit. Sometimes, those things are more real then we give them credit, but still lay in the supernatural relm as we can not understand or explain them. Why do some people come back as ghost or have the ablity to see auras or read minds ect.? We have no clue and therefore discount it. It is real though. We are just too afraid to admit it.

No it does not make it unreal. Lightning couldn't be explained in the early days and it is certainly real. Electricity would be considered supernatural if we could send it back a few centuries, but again, it's real. Just because we as humans don't have the answers to everything, doesn't mean it's not real.

The spirit world is very real, this is nothing to be afraid of though. There are some things in life that can't be explained. Just like that feeling in the pit of your stomach during certain situations. How do you know what to do? You just do. The supernatural is like that, there is no real concrete way to explain it, but you know it's there, remember that truth is often stranger than any fiction out there. This is what helps make life interesting and fun.

The term "supernatural" relates to the exercise of divine power; something relating to the miraculous. Jesus rose from the dead. That's pretty miraculous! Does the fact that no one living today witnessed this event make it unreal?
Should Bret Favre and the Green Bay Packers win the Super Bowl this year, the WORLD will witness a supernatural and miraculous event, and anyone living will be able to report we have witnessed a supernatural event!

The supernatural can be explained. You just won't like the explanation. Here you go: The supernatural is the attempt of the lazy human mind to catigorize things that it doesn't understand. It is my opinion that many people like to catigorize what they don't understand as being "supernatural" rather than admitting that they simply don't understand it. It's eaiser than actually thinking. It also gives us the ability to "blame" our misfortunes on forces beyond our control, instead of working to make things better. It also gives us the opportunity to "pray" for what we want rather than working for it. How convenient!
As humans have begun to understand more and more about how things work throughout the years, it seems that there is less and less left to be considered supernatural.
A wristwatch would have been supernatural 300 years ago. The computer you're using right now would have been considered supernatural, possibly alien technology when your parents were kids. Indeed everything from thunderstorms, earthquakes, floods, to miscarried children and birth defects have been attributed to supernatural causes... by some people in some places, even to this day.
If more people thought about things and sought truth instead of just accepting what they see as unexplainable and supernatural, many of the worlds problems would be solved overnight.
EVERYONE: Please take the time and energy to think. Get out of your comfort zone and give it a try. You may be smarter than you realize.

So what if the supernatural can not be explained! The supernatural is real! God created all things! God is supernatural and therefore it is real! Yes, there are things that are not of God but supernatural, that too is real! Too many people forget or chose to forget and cut the supernatural out of God and his word! Living a life in Christ is Supernatural! Be blessed!

The fact that it can't be explained doesn't make it unreal. There are lots of real things that we can't fully explain yet.
However, the fact that it's a figment of our imagination, or a product of wishful thinking, DOES make it unreal.

It is very real, though human beings are limited to see it, in the natural and supernatural, the spirit world is so very real, whether it's good or evil.
It is out there, and it's unexplainable sometimes. It's a matter of getting close to the truth to explore it. The truth sets us free.

Supernatural energies are not of this world.They are spiritual in nature,not material.Like a rainbow or a man seen in a dream,who vanishes when you awake.
Such things are seen and heard and felt with eyes and ears and senses of the spirit,not the body.This mortal world is just a passing dream.
Life comes and then it goes.Then the spirit moves on to Otherworlds.
