Somebody answered a question I asked: Theists say there is a natural world and also a supernatural world for their god of the gaps. Is there any evidence for supernatural?
"People have been believing in supernatural beings, psychics and magic for over 150,000 years of human existence, and in all that time there has not been one demonstration or verifiable piece of evidence of anything either supernatural, spiritual, magic, or psychic. No elves, vampires, unicorns, demons, alien kidnappers, werewolves, fairies, ESP, zombies, power crystals, voodoo, fortune-telling, seers, angels, mermaids, wizards, sins, flying reindeer, dryads, nyads, souls, numerology, astrology, working Ouija boards, witches, reincarnation, astral projection, spells, dwarves, pixies, spirits, dragons, ghosts, goblins, leprechauns or gods. Not ONE, in over 150,000 YEARS. Consider that, and consider what it probably means."

Another answer:
"Evidence persuasive to science? No. If there were persuasive evidence for supernatural claims, then they wouldn't be considered supernatural to begin with, and would be subject to scientific scrutiny. If there were a truly persuasive argument for the existence of God, we would have heard it already."

"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
