The supernatural hypothesis has failed.
Of the innumerable supernatural explanations proposed throughout human history not a single one has ever been vindicated. All those questions that have been able to be adequately explored have resulted in the overturning of the mystical, magical and supernatural explanation by means of examining and understanding the entirely natural. The entire history of science is one of encountering perplexing and baffling phenomena that initially seem to demand magical and supernatural answers but which ultimately turn out to be entirely natural. There have been no exceptions to this. The best the committed supernaturalist can now to do is cling to the ever diminishing remaining gaps in our knowledge and understanding.
So given this epic failure of the supernatural hypothesis to date is it time to abandon this hypothesis?
Is it
ever now evidentially and rationally justifiable to cite the supernatural explanation as the answer or cause of
ANY known phenomenon?
Phenomenon to which the supernatural answer is still commonly advocated such as (but not limited to):
The creation of the universe.
Abiogenesis
Human belief in the existence of the supernatural
Religious experiences
Man's sense of morality
Whilst science can no more disprove the supernatural answer than it can prove the natural, have we now reached the point where the supernatural hypothesis can be legitimately dismissed as futile and desperately unlikely to bear any fruit as a means of explaining anything?
Has the supernatural hypothesis failed?
Or does continued advocacy of the supernatural as an explanation remain justified? If so on what basis?
