Supernatural refers to phenomena that are beyond the natural world and its laws.

On the path of knowledge, the supernatural is:

• A category based on belief, not knowledge

• Not a valid concept - all experience is natural

• Often an expression of ignorance and superstition

• To be examined critically rather than accepted

The path of knowledge does not appeal to supernatural explanations. It relies on direct experience and logic.
