They use science to debunk science. It's stupid.
They have to assume that science currently provides a near 100% accurate model of all the laws of nature.
Then they say science can't account for certain things, because they fall outside of these models.
I'm surprised they can't see the massive contradiction here. It's the obsession that there definitely is stuff science can't handle. That has not been demonstrated. And I don't know how they possibly expect to demonstrate this is true without being able to somehow produce examples of these things science can't handle, without using science to measure them in some way.
All that's left are anecdotes, and "feelings", which are utterly useless. Even in an anecdote, how did they determine supernatural causation without using the argument from ignorance? They didn't, is the answer. They couldn't think of a natural explanation for what they thought they experienced, so they erroneously concluded it was not natural.
Again, I have no need to declare the supernatural impossible. I just don't yet see any evidence it is possible, so starting with that assumption is flawed.
