Its a given the unknown exists, we as a species do not know alot of things.
Given this allow me to ask you a direct question for which I expect a direct answer:
Do you consider the unknown to be by definition supernatural?
If not would you provide me with a specific example of the supernatural?
No I don't. I can't give you an example of something unknown. Are you implying anything unknown is supernatural, therefore something which may be discovered in 100 years becomes natural until then it's supernatural?
If this definition was commonly used:
"Attributed to some force beyond scientific understanding or the laws of nature."
The definitions you offered are quite different. The issue I have with the term is it's a sensationalised pejorative in the rationalist world.
