No, we can't: how would we know if we did? We wouldn't be aware of the things we didn't know, so we can claim to know everything without actually doing so. Since we can't ever know that we know everything, the question is self refuting.

Quote: If there are some things that cannot be known for certain within the naturalistic method which you propose, then they MAY (notice: not 'must' only 'may') go on as being defined as supernatural.

Why make that leap, though? What's so horrible about just admitting that you don't know, in situations like those? Why the desperation to tack on supernatural possibilities, when that's in no way an honest answer?
