Science simply does not study the supernatural, because the supernatural is outside of the scope of scientific inquiry.

This is true, but it is a far cry from saying the supernatural has no place in scientific inquiry, which was the assertion I was addressing. If nothing else, scientific inquiry must recognize that the supernatural is beyond its scope. This gives the scientist much more freedom than saying scientific inquiry must presume there is no supernatural.

Shalom.

So how, exactly, does scientific inquiry recognize the supernatural when it can't study it in any meaningful way?
