To boop: “if you fantasize that natural-science somehow can include super-natural explanations, or even explanations of the super-natural, then I would challenge you to find some official dictionary which says that explicitly.

What lead you to that misbegotten notion? Which word didn’t you understand?

Spirited: To paraphrase Kierkegaard, natural science (as opposed to science in search of truth and reality) is the ‘science’ of Tolkien’s Gollum. Gollum is the quintessential ‘blood and soil’ being in search of power here below. His soul is materialized, or as the prophet Jeremiah put it, his soul/spirit is a cistern without living water. To spiritually-dark Gollum, the supernatural is nonsense.
