Supernatural things unrelated to god:
psychics, dowsers, telekinesis, levitators, witches, werewolves, nessie, bigfoot, perpetual motion, past lives therapy, and I am sure others can add (or subtract) a few things as my definitions may be overly broad since they include some things that may right prove to be natural eventually. |

Take out perpetual motion (known physics) , bigfoot and nessie(would be known biology if true) and add in ghosts and spirits.
So , supernatural things which do not assume a God : Psychic powers , auras , magic and voodoo , laylines and earth energies, any astral or spiritual plane beliefs. Aliens don't count becuase they merely take the evolution/creation question one step upwards. And yes , I've met people who hold one or more of the above beliefs and are atheists. Obviously they may eventually have natural explanations , but are currently considered supernatural. |
