Supernatural isn't a useful concept
#29
RE: Supernatural isn't a useful concept
Supernatural is natural phenomena that hasn't been explained yet, or lack evidence to be explained coherently.

"I saw a ghost!" Any number of natural explanations would render such a supernatural anecdote to banal & trivial phenomena; "it was the wind", or the personal "you're just mistaken wind and light artification." Which, for the supernaturally explanation inclined, are unsatisfactory explanations.
"The first principle is that you must not fool yourself — and you are the easiest person to fool." - Richard P. Feynman
