When so many phenomena once thought to be supernatural are tested by science and demonstrated to be natural events, and when no phenomena once thought to be supernatural are tested by science and demonstrated to not be natural events, why would anybody believe that any so-called miracle is actually the work of some supernatural god?
When the natural and the supernatural clash, the supernatural has never, ever come away victorious. The downside to framing all of your supernatural arguments in such a way that everything supposedly supernatural is in no way distinguishable from fantasy or ignorance is that, in the end, science will always demonstrate, sooner or later, that it is one or the other. The only defense of the supernaturalist is to move the goalposts again. Thankfully for the them, human imagination allows them to move them indefinitely.
