76. I just say I don't believe in anything supernatural.
It's more accurate that specifying a disbelief in god. Of course god comes under the heading of supernatural...like demons, angels, ghosts and the Easter Bunny, so....

It just seems obvious to me that the one and only reason anything in the universe exists the way it does is because the laws of physics allowed for it when whatever situation happened to occur that enabled whatever to exist.

IOW...it exists because it can....and the situation has happened to allow it to exist.

I like this view. It means all manner of things that don't exist now could, if things come together just right, exist in the future. It also means that no mater how improbable the chance of something coming together just so....it happened if the result exists (like homo sapiens, for instance). Also it means that this moment in time (oops! you just missed it!) is merely the culmination of every little event since the Big Bang (and before).

So much more amazing than anything in scripture!
