Because we know that in the past supernatural explanations have been shown to be incorrect when we've managed to come up with a natural explanation.

How can you tell the difference between a natural explanation that we do not yet have and a supernatural explanation that we will never know?

The supernatural is just a placeholder for natural explanations that we have not yet arrived at. And for you it's just a way of convincing yourself that you are justified in believing the fairy tale you were brought up with.

And you still think you're a critical thinker Dunning Kruger boy?

I have answered this way too many times. I can't help that you have comprehension problems. Go back and read and reply to a specific response if you want clarification.

OK, now I know that you are deliberately lying. You have not answered the question. How does it feel to be a liar?

True you tried (and failed) to answer other variants of the same question, but not the following.

Point me to the post where you answered this specific question you liar.

Your unsatisfactory answers are the reason why I pose a different question each time. If you had a meaningful definition of supernatural then you'd be able to answer all these questions properly.

If you could answer it, it would be easy to do so rather than just belittle me.

Liar for Jeebus. Intellectually dishonest. Lazy at best.
