An example for concreteness: There can be parts of nature which become separated from us causally. E.g. what happens now in a galaxy at the edge of our observable universe. If the universe keeps expanding, these events will never come in causal contact with earth, and any claim about what happens there is unfalsifiable. It is not sensible to call these places supernatural.
True, but those things are unfalsifiable -to us- only because of our unprivileged position in the cosmos. To an observer wih such disability, it would not be the case. The supernatural is unfalsifiable to -any- observer.
