Let's play with the concept of 'Supernatural'

Let's play with the concept of 'Supernatural'
Go to Google and search for the definition of supernatural. You'll get -
Quote:(of a manifestation or event) attributed to some force beyond scientific understanding or the laws of nature.


I'm going to be talking about 'supernatural' in this context.
So let me elaborate, supernatural is referred to as the occurrence of an event that is beyond the scientific understanding.
But come to think of it - nothing is beyond the scientific understanding - everything can be explained using scientific methods - maybe not right now, maybe not tomorrow, maybe not even for the coming thousand years - but eventually science explains everything. So that means since everything can be explained (eventually) There is no such thing as unexplainable - which is what supernatural is. So that means there is no such thing as supernatural.

Wellllllll, I don't particularly believe in that. I don't think everything is under the scope of scientific understanding. Humans can never accomplish absolute knowledge since our universe itself is infinite. So if humans can never accomplish absolute knowledge that means there will always be something that will be unexplained - which supports the notion of a supernatural.

So my question is this, based on what I've talked above, do you or do you not believe in "supernatural"? Purely on a logical level, no religious bling bling.
