There are contests with ridiculously large cash prizes to anyone who can prove anything even remotely supernatural.
Can you tell the future? Prove it. Got some ghosts up in your attic? Prove it. Can you levitate objects without using otherwise scientifically explained principles? Prove it.
The first time someone -proves- one of these things, they are going to be a very, very rich person. And the next day the scientific community will implode (mild exaggeration, just new areas of study will be created).
Until then, I don't believe in a whit of supernatural activity. My spiritual beliefs are entirely unrelated. I choose to believe in some creative force because I can think of no better explanation for the creation of the universe, and I choose to believe in an afterlife simply because I prefer the outlook on life that it gives me. That's pretty much my only two unscientific thoughts. Anything else has to buck up and face science :P
