Christians make a lot of assumptions with regard to the bible. Like that assumption that god is loving, when it is so contrary to his actions. But, it really does fall on what you describe as 'supernatural'. I guess anything that is like 'magic' would be defined as supernatural, but as with all of those things, once scince understands them then they would be seen as natural, even though they were natural all along. Perhaps 'supernatural' is that which cannot be understood by science, such as god suspending the laws of nature. But again, we might one day understand that. One could say that something that breaks the laws of nature is supernatural, but perhaps we would instead be obliged to write exceptions into the laws to accompany the oddities. In conclusion...there is no conclusion...
