Supernatural defined
Lets observe some past items considered supernatural.
The heavens. Magicians.
The heavens and the sun moon stars etc. Were considered supernatural in olden times. Why? No one understood them.
Magicians worked supernaturally with "magic". Because it was not understood.
Natural is understood mechanics. And supernatural is misunderstood mechanics.
So by these observations I define supernatural as a word ascribed to anything beyond the comprehension of man.
In this way, I find the supernatural attributes ascribed to God as simply a misunderstanding of man. That when enough is understood, It will be realized that God is natural. And nothing is supernatural. Since all things are natural when understood.
Note: I thought i had posted on this already. Silly me, I can't find it.

keep your mind from this way of enquiry, for never will you show that not-being is
