If one cannot explain(at least 1% of it)a phenomena or occurrence then that is supernatural.
Me personally do not believe that science is capable of defining *everything* that would imply that there are some things that cannot be explained(not even by 1%) then i guess i believe in supernatural.  Thinking

How exactly do you determine what % of a phenomenon/occurrence is unexplainable?

Your definition leaves us facing the possibility that everything/anything is supernatural. This is what Rob means by 'ill defined'.
That's right. Even if we have a fantastic natural explanation for something, we can't exclude there also being some additional supernatural cause.

Whatever supernatural means! Since people generally can't agree and the dictionary definition is bollocks.
