    That is *exactly* my opinion on the "supernatural": that which has
not thoroughly been explored. I believe that there is some truth to
psychic ability, but I fully deny any afterlife/ supra-natural causes.
All things are of nature, period. No god(s), spirits, or bending the
laws of physics by dancing for rain. In fact, if nanotechnology becomes
reality, biology will be conquered soon after, and maybe then scientists
can get around to studying where exactly the roots of "psychic powers"
lie. Stripped down, it's *all* physics.
