It does? Support this assertion.

No. I don't intend to. I know it to be true. I don't care if you are convinced or not. The big issue is that if you insist Science must deny the supernatural you must support the assertion that it does not exist. Proving a negative is impossible, so you are left in an untenable situation. The most you can say or do is assert that you don't intend to include the supernatural in your own worldview. That is your right. Insisting that there can be no place for the supernatural in scientific inquiry is not your right.

Shalom.

Okay, so you just arrogantly insist that science should accept any assertion you toss out because you "know" it to be true.

Who said that it was denying anything? Science simply does not study the supernatural, because the supernatural is outside of the scope of scientific inquiry. That is not the same as denying the existence of the supernatural.
