That's because secular science has never made any attempt whatsoever to test supernatural phenomena.
Well, attempts have been made, like "ghost hunters" who attempt to use science to undercover the supernatural. A very silly proposition to me, if you think about it.
Science is only equipped to answer natural phenomenon (physics), not measure or detect things supposedly outside the realm of physics.
You, along with most secularists do not understand the basics of the supernatural phenomena which exists.
Who does understand it, and how would you propose to verify said understanding? That's the crux of the situation.
1. We cannot detect the supernatural
2. We wouldn't even know where to begin, as you need a starting point in which to test a thesis.
Predictions of supernatural phenomena predicted thousands of years ago have been tested by fulfillement.
If you're referring to prophecies, they are far too vague to reasonablly corroborate the claims.
On the otherhand predictions of science have only been ongoing to any significant extent for the past century. When they begin to fail, science simply changes modifys and updates with ever more complex hypotheses
Various religions do the exact same thing. The prophecy of Tyre is one of the more obvious one's where one can see a whole lot of mental gymnastics. As well, the prophecies of the End Times are constantly being modified through adendums and/or amendments to the theories in light of new information.
By the same token I can argue that secular science wants an explanation of supernatural phenomenon, without being prepared to test and research evidence of supernatural phenomenon
It's not that it doesn't want to. It's a matter of how. Where do you even begin?
The question is has the supernatural hypothesis failed? Imo, most of the participants of this thread are not qualified to answer that question, having devoted insufficient time, experience and study in testing the phenomena.
I agree. We simply don't know either way, or if some of us do know, it is not something that can be proven or replicated with predictable results, which is a requirement of scientific inquiry.
