We have up and down not superup or superdown.
We have terms to everything discussed with natural and unnatural (other than a made up god), unnatural easily covers what is known and not yet known.
Again you only need to invent supernatural to explain something that you know lacks impact with unnatural.
Define the difference with supernatural and unnatural or please use a different term.
Dog.
Supernatural - anything outside the physical universe and its laws.
Unnatural - within our universe and laws, anything artificially created that would not exist on its own.
That brings up an interested question. Could you have an unnatural supernatural object? Say if an angel made a cake using supernatural chemical sweetener for an all-angel potluck. Huh, have to think about that.
You can call anything you want a fairy story or made up, but you aren't engaging the question of whether the supernatural exists with anything resembling a cogent argument.
