You're spot on here, which is why I'm a little confused by the the following...

It wasn't though, just because we didn't understand it didn't mean it was supernatural....it was always a super-hot practically endless nuclear reaction in the centre of the solar system.

Something can't be 'supernatural' and then become 'natural' based purely upon our increased understanding of it. This is a point Kate seems to be having extreme problems comprehending.

As for those of you claiming I have 'faith' in science.....that's a load of rubbish. If something is evidently real you don't need to 'believe' in it or have 'faith' in it - it just *is*.

For example, I don't 'believe' in the sky, I don't need to waste any energy on that as I can see it. Likewise I can see the world around me and understand that reality, no matter how complex and (in some cases bizarre) just is. It exists, it's existence is self-evident so I don't have to have 'faith' in it.

'Faith' is not something that any rational mind should have to waste time on.
