"We think we know everything. I think sometimes we are as ignorant as lab mice."

C.S. Lewis was not a fan of the terms, "supernatural," or, "paranormal," seeing them as expressions of human vanity, carrying the implication that we had a full understanding of all that was, "natural," or, "normal."

In another 500 or 1,000 years, humanity will look back on our 21st century understanding of, "science," and find our views as ridiculous and naïve as we do those who believed an eclipse was a dragon devouring the sun.

As we today can look back a thousand years at the ignorant barbarians who thought that they could go places by riding on an animal’s back. They even put heavy things on ships and moved stuff all over the empire! So silly!
