(5,764 posts)It is straightforward because the natural world has established and repeatable relationships of cause and effect. So if you see an effect, you can investigate and discover the possible causes. Thus establishing that the effect you observed was EVIDENCE OF the cause having occurred prior to it.
See where we run into a teeny little problem when people start invoking magic? Like, oh, an all powerful supernatural deity entity that can do ANYTHING IT WANTS and to which the laws of nature do not apply? So all relationships of predictable cause and effect are rendered null and void?
Now if you know a way around that problem, out with it. Otherwise you are full of crap every time you open your mouth about there being "evidence of" any supernatural claim.
