No one alive knows -except perhaps by faith (whatever that means)- what 'supernatural' means. That is simply hypothetical for all intents and purposes.We hear alot about the supernatural for something purported to be an undiscoverable. Most of what we hear are all the ways that it isn't separate at all. In trying to paint the supernatural assertion and it's insistence that it not be held to any standard in a supportive light you are no longer discussing the supernatural assertion.
So science is the study of the empirical world and theology is the study of a system of beliefs with an alleged connection to a hypothetical and entirely undiscoverable separate realm. That's more than apples and oranges. That's apples and Smurfs.
You've have begun to discuss apologetics. A thing that human beings do in the natural world when their supernatural assertions regarding the natural world tank.
Apples to apples.
Yeah. God only knows what if anything applies to Smurfs.
