... But it is not against the canons of science to declare that a particular phenomenon cannot be explained by natural means.

Can you cite a precedent? I think not! I can't even imagine such a thing - as a scientist.

I think that you misunderstood my point. I am not saying that it is proper for science to declare that something could never be explained by natural means, only that at the present time that it cannot be explained so. As for a precedent, at the present time science cannot explain the origin of life.

This might approach it from a tangent:
