Here's a nice little statement from Wikipedia -

According to the strict materialist view, if something 'supernatural' exists, it is by definition not supernatural.

Whether we ever understand it or not (and I'm confident that, given enough time, we will) doesn't matter, if something can be proved to exist then it is not supernatural. If it can't be proved to exist, and the weight of evidence suggests that it doesn't exist....well then it doesn't matter what you call it, cos you're engaging in a pointless exercise.

If we subject everything to reason, our religion will have nothing mysterious or supernatural in it. If we violate the principles of reason, our religion will be absurd and ridiculous.

If it exists it can be (eventually) measured, if it doesn't we need not concern ourselves with it.
Kate, I suggest you go back and look up the meaning of the word 'supernatural', as you seem to be working from a different definition to the rest of us.
