Surely your statement is wrong?
Nature encompasses all. Supernatural is merely the artifact of a part of nature, namely some man, in trying to pretend that he knows something about some grand order of universe, must whitewash the fact that his fiction lack compatibility with what his audience might already know of nature. So the supernatural is a phenomenon of the natural world just as much, and in the same way, as any tale of fiction or any man made lie or deceit, and so is within descriptive power of science. Science can not describe god because there is no god. But science in theory has within it's power to fully describe why you think there is a god, how you would think there is a god, the precise attributes you would say of god each time you defend your inconstant fiction, and precisely what impact this dishoest quibbling would have on you, those around you, and society in general.
