Glad to see you spreading it around the forums CL instead of just minding your own nest.
Personally I don't find the acceptance of a 'supernatural' category that easy to swallow. There is nothing I've ever encountered or read about which could be classed as other than natural. Can I 'prove' it? No, but I don't think that any alternatives are on the same footing where on the one side you can demonstrate a fit with reality as we know it and on the other is something entirely separate from everything we know and undetectable.
If gods exist I assume everything they can do would be by means comprehensible to them at least. Gods would possess a unified theory which renders what we call supernatural with everything else. Being unable to explain anything ourselves with our current understanding is not enough to rule out its being natural.
