Let's say we also agree that from the laws of physics and from natural phenomena, we cannot explain how this happened. Until such time as a rational explanation can be offered, tested and proved, it would be reasonable to label abiogenesis as a supernatural event (using the definition as supplied).
That would be an abuse of the term 'supernatural'. Supernatural doesn't just mean that science has failed to explain the phenomena. It refers to there being no natural explanation of the phenomenon in principle, that no explanation would be correct, whether by accident or otherwise.
