I’m in agreement if supernatural is used to explain away what we do not understand; thus, shutting off intellectual curiosity/pursuit and turning on a dim bulb of blind acceptance to social dogmas/beliefs. However, if supernatural is being used as a descriptor for things that don’t conform to humanity’s most current thought patterns of what constitutes natural laws, then IMO, supernatural may indeed be a very important topic worthy of serious consideration, as it can help knock us off of our pedestal of self-importance: perhaps mankind’s greatest achievements are someone else’s ‘funny section’ in a morning newspaper. Hence, understanding that which is alien to our sense-making processes may be the key that enables us to grow beyond our preconceptions of normalcy and come that much closer toward understanding reality as it really is.
