Science and the Supernatural

Just the other day whilst driving, I listened to Brian Cox and companion scientist on the Radio 4 programme ‘Infinite Monkey Cage’ making fun of the supernatural. Cheap shots, cheap jokes abounded, but in truth all they managed to reveal was that far from being open-minded, they were in fact extremely narrow minded. Because the supernatural cannot be investigated by empirical or scientific methods their own deeply held belief, is that nothing in the so-called realm of the supernatural or paranormal can therefore exist, not even possibly. That same day I was listening to a CD where one of the world’s greatest scientists, Max Planck was quoted. He said this "All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force... We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter." Our two young scientists should listen and take notes from their betters! What do you think?
