Ben Boyett - Personal Blog 1

Recently I was leading a Bible study and we had a first time visitor come who was a good friend of one of the members. I got to talk to him afterward and found out that he is atheistic. During the conversation he mentioned that he would never accept a religion unless he had a logical proof stating that it was in fact a true experience of the supernatural. The problem with this lies in the definition of supernatural. Anything that is supernatural is above and outside of nature and therefore will not act according to our scientific laws. What then is left to communicate the experience of the holy? Personal experience is all we really have of proof that anything supernatural exists, but personal experience is inherently flawed in that we can't allow someone else to experience just what we ourselves have experienced. All that remains is simply faith.
