Perhaps you should consult Merriam Webster for the definition of Dictionary.
Being from Holland, I certainly give Merriam Webster much more authority than the Bible....:rolleyes:

No. Potential of a tree in an acorn.

If you want to believe that all natural occurrences are down to the supernatural intervention of God, that's your prerogative, but it means that - for you - the distinction between natural and supernatural is meaningless. You will find that most people make the distinction, even if you do not.

I am just saying it's all pretty amazing, a miracle in itself. You don't need the "supernatural" to appreciate what is outside your door.

No, its definition is the fruit of the Oaktree.

    Origin
    Old English æcern, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch aker, also to acre, later associated with oak and corn.

But, pray tell why you are dragging acorns into a conversation of the supernatural?
From the story of "Basil and the Magic Acorn"?
Magic acorn from the oak tree grown on the peak of Bald Mountain in Velen. It can be looted from Imlerith's body.

If you choose to speak with Stregomir (by the fire) he will inform you that the Ciri asks if the acorns provide enough to help all of Velen, and Stregomir replies by saying "it's never enough".

Well sure, we all use some expressions incorrectly, especially exclamations!....:eek:

But a biblical miracle is defined thus; What is the meaning of miracle in the Bible?
noun. an effect or extraordinary event in the physical world that surpasses all known human or natural powers and is ascribed to a supernatural cause. such an effect or event manifesting or considered as a work of God.

Miracle | Definition of Miracle at Dictionary.com
www.dictionary.com › browse › miracle

Just because people use a phrase incorrectly doesn't make it true.
A miracle is an event not explicable by natural or scientific laws.[2] Such an event may be attributed to a supernatural being (especially a deity), magic, a miracle worker, a saint, or a religious leader.

Informally, the word miracle is often used to characterise any beneficial event that is statistically unlikely but not contrary to the laws of nature, such as surviving a natural disaster, or simply a "wonderful" occurrence, regardless of likelihood. Some coincidences may be seen as miracles.

An example of a biblical term of a divine nature and using it in a mundane expression, a poetic license.

"Many a time I have witnessed a miraculous sunrise, heralding a renewal of the world".

Hmmm... I rather like that....:)

I'm curious, what did the Netherlands ever do to you?

Due to its strategic location, it has one of the richest histories in Europe and a remarkable cosmopolitan population, for a tiny country with a relatively small population. Schooling demands 4 mandatory languages (Dutch, English, German, French)
The History of the Netherlands is a history of seafaring people thriving on a lowland river delta on the North Sea in northwestern Europe. Records begin with the four centuries during which the region formed a militarized border zone of the Roman Empire.

My personal history is a condensed version of Dutch history....:cool:

Right.

In reality, ghosts are misperceptions, artifacts, hoaxes, etc.

Like angels and faeries though, ghosts - as a subject matter - are supernatural.

Wonder why nothing is subnatural? why always has to be supernatural?

Would a bonsai tree fit subnatural?

But tell me, where does entropy figure in all of this? Surely it must come in somewhere.

"Nothing more than"?

It's been around for centuries. And it's been written piecemeal by hundreds of people over those centuries.

Who do you figure did all this? And how did they coordinate it? And why?

I don't expect serious answers to this - just more link spam - but it casts some harsh light on the preposterousness of the idea.
