Well seen as we can kind of gauge the effects of dark matter, or at least notice the significant lack of mass apparent in the universe, it's not really the same as hypothesising about gods.

I know, my point being lack of an explanation warrants one in the scientific view. Supernatural claims cannot be examined using any of the aforementioned and are resistant to explanation, hence supernatural. You can only assume supernatural cause as a result, unless you choose to be intellectually dishonest.

When you can weigh and measure (and feel wanting) supernatural claims it is no longer supernatural. It is debunked.
