So may people make a connection between the "supernatural" and religion.
There is no validity to such connections, but as a consequence , those who
can see the limits of "religiosity" , seem to be reluctant to look into such
realms, because of such association.
Even if one discovers "life everlasting" (the ultimate find around which all
other searches are centred), why should "God" feature, anymore than in the
experience of seeing a child born.
I'm suggesting not to throw the baby out with the bath water.

Then death could have no meaning, therefore neither can life, "life
everlasting" destroys itself Brian.
Just as the Kantian claim of the uncertainty of everything
automatically must by default destroy the meaning of certainty,
therefore neither can uncertainty have any meaning, therefore
uncertainty destroys itself, but dont tell the Kantians, its the stuff
that keeps their fucking nightmare going.
Oh and as for supernatural not being in the same camp as the mystical
god crap, dont be silly, of course it is.

I can't accept the above. It seems to me that religion, at its very
core, is the "unseen cause". Religion and the supernatural are
inexorably intwined.

God and the Universe are identical concepts.

Not according to the Roman Catholic dogma. See A.A. Augustine as the
source of authority on that matter.

All religions make supernatural claims. I am willing to listen if you
think that statement is wrong.

In your view that may very well be true. Generally though, "God" assumes
intelligence while "the Universe" is mindless.

So you are saying intelligence magically arises at a certain point in
evolution? How is it possible for something to arise out of thin air? It
makes more logical sense to me to assume the building blocks of
everything, energy, also has intelligence. The more energy you have
bound up into more and more complex systems, the more intelligence you
have. Then the Universe, as an exceedingly complex system, could very
well be intelligent.

The first part is correct. The second is the utterings of someone who simply
hasnt resolved the first part.
