Google says the definition of supernatural is:
![[Image: Capture.jpg]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=s9.postimg.org%2F6jwbzkjf3%2FCapture.jpg)
So it says supernatural is attributed to some force beyond scientific understanding or the laws of nature.
Objectively speaking,everything can be scientifically explained.
Subjectively speaking,everything cannot be scientifically explained.
I'm going to go with the latter since humans are not *God* and we cannot view the universe as some *outside* viewer.
So,am i not supernatural to ants? Because ants cannot explain me scientifically?
Then arises a new question,about science specifically.
Objectively speaking,it's almost true that science can explain everything.(I went with almost true because i'm open to the possibility that our subjects may has some faults)
But can our science explain everything? The answer is a big No.
Can ant's science explain humans? The answer would be a no.
Can Human's science explain themselves? The answer would be only up to a certain extent,but we are improving and we are learning,we are just no there yet.
I've had Aristocatt argue that if a plane were to fly on earth hundreds or thousands of years ago that wouldn't count as supernatural.
And he is right,objectively speaking.Nothing is supernatural is the universe is viewed from the point of view of an outside viewer or some *God*.But we aren't that outside viewer are we?
So what is Supernatural? Is the definition that Google provided me faulty? If it is not,doesn't that mean that everything is technically supernatural? I'm really confused.I hope someone can clear this for me.
