What is "supernatural"?

[Neo-Scholastic]

I'm tempted to say "magic", but that doesn't really help. xD

I suppose when you get down to it, it refers to things perceived to lie far outside our normals means of explaining things. Ex: The heavens, gravity and diseases were often regarded as the workings of the supernatural prior to us gaining a more robust understanding of them.

I don't know if this epistemic-gap is necessarily the case with all purportedly supernatural things, but it certainly is rather pervasive.

Generally I agree. The term supernatural seem to hinge on what one considers natural. I know many people that believe in sychronisity (sp) and think profound coincidences are perfectly natural. However a more restrictive view would put supernatural things outside the regular operation of known physical processes.
