What would it take to qualify as a supernatural explanation? So long as the explanation doesn't connect whatever it is we're supposedly explaining to the natural world, how has anything been explained?
I guess "the supernatural" is supposed to be understood as a black box. But if the best we can do is assign a phenomenon to a particular black box, I just don't feel like the 'explanation' has enlightened me at all.
Murky stuff.
