According to the strict [[materialist]] view, if something 'supernatural' exists, it is by [[definition]] not supernatural. Are there forces beyond the natural forces studied by [[physics]]? Are there ways of sensing that go beyond our biological [[senses]] and instruments? Most scientists today would say "No"; some [[mystics]], believers in religion or the [[occult]], might say "Yes". Certainly there may always be things outside of the realm of human [[understanding]], as of yet unconfirmed and dubious in [[existence]], and some might term these 'supernatural.' | According to the strict [[materialist]] view, if something 'supernatural' exists, it is by [[definition]] not supernatural.
