(13,029 posts)that a supernatural agent can even exist as something that we can detect or interact with, or that is capable of influencing, or being influenced by, events in the natural world, that is fundamentally flawed. Anything capable of interacting in the natural world is, by definition, not "super" natural. It's not that physics hasn't found evidence for supernaturalities, or that it doesn't need them. Physics (or any other method of inquiry available to us in the natural world) cannot, by its very nature, detect anything "supernatural", because if it could then that thing wouldn't be supernatural, it would be natural.
For us in the natural world, we can conceive of the supernatural as a concept, but that is all. All of the things we like to call "supernatural" are either natural, or they exist only in our imaginations.
