A Question about the Survey Results

In the survey that we did for class, one question asked whether we thought that some occurrences happen because of the super-natural. Another question asked whether we thought that everything came from naturalistic causes. I thought it was interesting how people answered these two questions differently because thirteen people said that everything is a cause of nature, but only seven people in the class said that there are no super-natural explanations. I thought that the questions were asking about the same concept, but maybe people are seeing a bigger idea behind them than I am. Does anyone have any thoughts on how these two questions are different and why people would answer them differently?

Good observation, Laura. It looks like an inconsistency on the face of it. Our world views do need to be consistent! Thanks for pointing this out.
