Is anyone a natural theologist?

It's when you base your belief in God on observations and experiences rather than divine revelation.

I think it depends on how open your mind is to whether you can experience it in the natural or purely by divine such a telepaths,psychics and as is happening much more in the Islamic world purely natural but considered divine to others
 
Paranormal experiences and observations (solicited and unsolicited) have greatly influenced my spirituality. However they have done nothing to foster interest in any particular religion per se.

I believe in God as an act of faith. Though my physical understanding of this plane of existence seems empirically well beyond what science or religion can explain or claim. I'm neither a scientist or a theologian, and attempting to "prove" or "export" what I have witnessed has never had any particular importance to me.

Not to mention that I sometimes wonder if it's truly intended only for a select few of us to witness or understand some of these possible "cosmic truths". I see dead people. So why can't you? :confused:

I agree with the last one. I've never been a fan of psychics.
 
I am as likely to believe that there is a teapot orbiting the sun somewhere between Earth and Mars as to believe in a diety.
Russell's teapot - Wikipedia

"The burden of proof lies upon a person making empirically unfalsifiable claims, rather than shifting the burden of disproof to others."

My thoughts about God are based on what makes the most sense to me. However, these thoughts are for me, not others. I also believe any one's beliefs about religion should be respected. I would never disrespect any one for their religious beliefs. These beliefs are probably what they want and need to believe in. That is important.
