"I guess all I've been trying to say is that since science can never cross that line, to me, it is atheistic rather than agnostic."

And that just shows you don't know what the words atheistic and agnostic mean.

"It starts out with there is no supernatural and it is unable to ever get past that."

No, it does no such thing at all. This has been explained to you over and over. The supernatural is simply not capable of scientific examination. That is NOT the same as saying that the supernatural doesn't exist.

"Maybe to some definition of agnostic and on some technicality this well seem to be more agnostic to many."

Is there another definition of agnostic other than the accepted one?

By definition, any phenomenon that can be investigated by science is a natural phenomenon. It sounds circular, but it isn't. Science is not simply a body of knowledge; it is a process.

Science eats away at the supernatural. It examines phenomena as it acquires the methods and tools to do so. The world of the supernatural is shrinking.
