Ultimately, the supernatural has to do with agency. The ability to 'will' something to happen. As long as the self, soul, and will were not of this world, it was at least plausible that certain wills might have this power. As agency has given way from an otherworldly explanation to one based on the operation of brains, this aspect of agency has seemed less plausible. Brains simply do not appear to have this magical ability.
