[63]This process can be extended to all our examples, but it would be
tedious to use a separate diagram for each of them. So let us summa-
rize the process using the formula
Special ebony tree [all PLANT features] + recalled conversationsTranslated, this means: to build your representation of the new object
(special ebony trees), just go to your PLANT template, copy all the
information that is true of plants (your default expectations about
plants) and add a special "tag" that says what is special about these
particular plants. This works in the same way for the other examples
of religious concepts. Here are the familiar ones:
(21) Omniscient God [PERSON] + special cognitive powers
(22) Visiting ghosts [PERSON] + no material body
(23) Reincarnation [PERSON] + no death + extra body available
(24) Zombies [PERSON] + no cognitive functioningWHATSUPERNATURAL CONCEPTS ARELIKE
