So supernatural means unexplained, then.
You also mentioned external. Something external to our reality, if such a thing is coherent, would I imagine be impossible to detect. If we can reach it somehow, then it seems similarly pointless to label it "another reality".
I don't know what an eternal god is, except that it's presumably eternal. Unless you define it, you'll just find more and more stuff, and people will each say "yes that's a god / no it isn't". And it will continue to mean nothing.
Let's face it, anything real that ever gets found cannot be allowed to be a god. If it was, religion would end, as every theist utters a disappointed, "Oh".
The trick to god is making up whatever you want.
