Supernatural

According to supernaturalism, a supernatural order is the original source of all that exists. It’s the  supernatural order which defines the limits of what may be known. Something that is supernatural is above, beyond, or transcendent to the natural world — it is not a part of or dependent upon nature or any natural laws. The supernatural is also commonly conceived of as being better, higher, or more pure than the ordinary, natural world around us. Many movies use the supernatural concept to scare their audience. In my opinion, I believe there is no supernatural yet. I say yet, because I have never encountered a situation which would make me believe in the supernatural. Many of my friends believe that the supernatural is real, but when I hear their stories, I find it hard to believe. I wasn’t in their shoes at the moment, so I don’t know if they are lying to me or telling the truth. The movie “The Exorcist” was based all on supernatural. The main character, Reagan, was possessed by demons or the devil and the movie showed how she was part demon, and part human. I don’t believe that will ever be true because there is no way someone’s spirit can be possessed. Many people believe that the supernatural can be explained by science. One factor of the supernatural is that there is no general agreement to what natural world really is. The supernatural is highly related to spiritually and religion. According to Wikipedia.com, by definition anything that exists naturally is not supernatural. However, the movie Paranormal Activity, which is a documentary, many of the situations they are in seems real. This is where the “yet” part comes in. While watching “Paranormal Activity”, I couldn’t figure out a way those characters would be able to edit the movie to make it seem all supernatural. The plot of the movie seems so fake to me. Katie is being followed by a demon, Micah taunts it. They get an Ouija board. All of these things were seen in “The Exorcist” as well. Because the movie is a documentary, I want to try to believe it. But because the movie has almost the same plot as numerous movies out there, it becomes hard to believe in the supernatural. By nature everything is explained and measured entirely. The supernatural would not fit into that explanation and measurement. We ask if there is evidence for the supernatural, but then the question of what is natural could also be asked. The show called “Supernatural” seems real, but all of it is unreal. The show uses many effects to achieve the suspense effect. Sound effects from the show also make the supernatural real.  Because I haven’t seen anything supernatural, I don’t think the supernatural exists.
