In saying ``the supernatural does not exist, for if it did it
would be natural, and not supernatural'' you are begging the
question, Rich. If elements of teh set of things which are
commonly called ``the supernatural'' exist, then perhaps they
should be called natural -- but ``do they exist'' is a question
that must take precidence over ``what shall we call them'' and
``must we keep calling them what we have always called them''.
