Nothing Is Supernatural

These dreams have probably always been going on to no effect before mass communication.

Every miracle has a natural explanation if it had been observed in detail. The mystery is why they happen to particular people at particular times with apparent purpose. In physics, anything can happen randomly, or as I prefer as a computer tech, pseudo-randomly. As long as an event is random, then it does not convey information (in the physics technical sense) from the future (like feelings of precognition which are randomly right or wrong but only remembered or mentioned on the occasions it was right) or faster than light, nor violate laws of entropy or causality. It needs no more explanation than randomness to comply with physics.

But pseudo-randomness is predictable if one knows the seed or key and the algorithm and that makes things open to the purpose and direction of God without our being able to explain or interfere with it.
