Excellently put.  &quot;Supernatural&quot; around here is just shorthand for &quot;bullshit&quot;, something is only &quot;supernatural&quot; until it is explained, and then it just &quot;natural&quot; and no one has a problem with it.  But where I think this is harmful is for rationalists who don&#x27;t want to acknowledge that some things may be true but ultimately unprovable or unexplainable because of the limited human perspective.  That&#x27;s what I think is interesting about philosophy and metaphysics—the ability to play around and ask what-if about things which probably <i>are</i> unknowable.  This opens you up to a much wider world of ideas than that which is reasonably tractable by today&#x27;s science.
