My impression is that many theists think of it in the first way, as though God just operates through pure intentional magic for which His will is both the way and the means. That is what I don't buy. If there were gods I would assume they are savvy to some know how that escapes us. Your thoughts?
I'm not ignoring you, I'm just not at home and may not be for a couple of days.
However the short answer to your question is the supernatural is that which defy natural laws.
An example of that would be Jesus walking on water. How will one ever explain that according to the laws of physics?
For any discussion regarding "cause" to be meaningful you'd have to demonstrate that it actually happened first...
