Natural is all that is, whether it is known at the present or not. It is what is.
Supernatural is all conceptual entities whose non-existence would create such discomfort in the wishthinking minds of superstitionists that they would abjure any demonstrably effective approach to truth finding that threaten to undermine the make belief, and always incorporating some combinations of shabby sophistry, mindless hysterics, pompous browbeating, blood curdling but hollow threats and outright bloody violence in the effort.
Shhh...settle down. I want to see what ol' Steve thinks it means. I want to know the context as he applies it
(I started writing an essay on this for shits and giggles but it has ballooned a bit on me and I need to comb back through it, but I may post it here at some point as a rebuttal to whatever Steve responds with)

They also don't understand that if they could demonstrate their supernatural beliefs as fact, then they would become natural explanations instead of supernatural beliefs. There should be a very strong and very real motivation for supernatural beliefs to be tested and proven, but they always seem to fail. It's almost as if most of them are...fictitious.
I like this line from Tim Minchin's poem titled "Storm"
"Throughout history every mystery ever solved turned out to be...not magic."
