Answer 3

No. The concept of the supernatural as most people think of it is logically impossible.

If something interacts with the natural world, then it is natural by definition. In fact, the ONLY way that something can be sensed either by humans or by instrumentation is if there is some kind of interaction. Thus if it is sensed, it is part of the NATURAL world. A given phenomenon may not be fully understood, but it definitely must be natural and have a naturalistic explanation.

If there is a supernatural, then it CANNOT interact with us IN ANY WAY, and therefore is completely irrelevant.

Anything that is believed to be paranormal would have to be something that could be detected in some way. So paranormal does not mean supernatural, it means unusual. Just because something is unlikely to happen does not mean that there is no naturalistic cause. The problem comes when people forget that and start coming up with fantastical explanations.
