I've had tarot readings, the runes, tea leaves, my palm read by Romany Gypsies and been to see a few mediums in my time.

I then studied psychology and theraputic counselling. If you can read body language, can ask the right questions and have the gift of deep empathy it can be beneficial.

My conclusion is that people in distress and looking for solutions or something to believe in can be easily manipulated.

Often, as Shermer and others have discussed, psychic stores serve as fronts to find out when the mark is on vacation—then they rob their house.

Of course not. All Tarot is “interpreted” by quite natural humans.

Understand I am a Christian.

"Peter asks whether Tarot Cards can serve as a channel to communicate with the supernatural."

Yes it can. Understand What we do in the physical world can affect out interaction with the supranational.

Paul to the Church at Ephesus.

"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."

There are Beings in the supernatural world that DO NOT have you best interests at heart.

What evidence is there for the supernatural? Evidence that independent people could converge on and agree that every reasonable person would agree that X indicates the presence of a supernatural world.

Understand I am NOT A man of the written word.....BUT This is as Deep and Long written as I get.

Its (say) 1873 Based on What was known (through science) a good argument could be made for Materialism/Atheism/Whatever. The Problem is as we learned (through science) more and more about The Universe, The Weaker those arguments have become. Until today just don't see how someone can say This all Just happened by accident/random chance.

Beyond Evolution: Unraveling the Origins of Life with Stephen Meyer and James Tour | Uncommon Knowledge

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCBHNDTEgWk

Aug 5, 2024 Uncommon Knowledge 2024

Stephen Meyer is the author of Return of the God Hypothesis and the director of the Discovery Institute. James Tour is a synthetic organic chemist and professor at Rice University, renowned for his work in nanotechnology and his skepticism toward the current scientific models explaining the origin of life.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Meyer and Tour contrast biological evolution with the more complex challenge of chemical evolution, where modern science still struggles to explain how nonliving chemicals could give rise to life. They critique early experiments like the Miller-Urey experiment, emphasizing that producing basic molecules is far from creating life itself. Meyer and Tour also argue that as scientific understanding deepens, the complexity of life's origins becomes more daunting, raising both scientific and philosophical questions about the adequacy of the current mainstream scientific explanations and theories for the origin of life.

"It was my science that drove me to the conclusion that the world is much more complicated than can be explained by science. It is only through the supernatural that I can understand the mystery of existence."
