Very cute. The current definition excludes all alternatives other than naturalism. Forensic scientists have no problem determining whether something was natural or designed. But when it comes to origin of species or origin of life the definitions are twisted to exclude anything but evolution.

Such closed mindedness to other alternatives does not suit science well. It's every much as big of an embarrassment as global warming. And you can't see it anymore than the global warming advocates can.

Science should be primarily about the pursuit of knowledge and applying the scientific method to confirm that knowledge. Science should not be limiting itself through arbitrarily applied definitions. And when it does limit itself, it's no longer science, it's dogma.

OK, tell me how you can use, measure, define and apply supernatural phenomena.
