Interestingly, there is a theorem (related to Bell's theorem concerning
postulated hidden variables in Quantum Mechanics) that proves that entities
within a system of causality (e.g. our universe or a virtual universe in
a computer) are in principle never able to distinguish external
from internal causes (e.g. supernatural ID).  This implies that we
can only recognize supernatural ID provided we ourselves have
a supernatural component.
