The difficulty of defining and then detecting the "supernatural." If something exists and interacts with our world (a ghost moves an object, a prayer is answered), then by interacting, it becomes part of nature's cause-and-effect chain and should, in theory, be natural and measurable. Calling it "supernatural" often just means "we can't explain it with our current models." The term becomes a moving target, a placeholder for mystery that retreats from any advancing scientific understanding.
Example: "The ghost hunter said the cold spot was 'supernatural.' The physicist said it was a draft. The hard problem of supernaturality: if the ghost's presence causes the draft, then it's a natural phenomenon, just an unknown one. The word 'supernatural' seems to mean 'we stop investigating here because it's spooky.'"

An attempt to propose a workable mechanism for phenomena that explicitly violate or operate above the laws of nature as currently understood—miracles, divine intervention, or magic. This is a taller order than paranormal mechanics, as it requires inventing or invoking causal principles from "outside" the natural order. Think of it as speculative engineering for the realm of gods and spirits: How would a prayer be "received"? How does a curse cause physical harm?
Example: "Her Supernatural Mechanics Theory was that focused collective prayer creates a localized 'theomorphic field' that can temporarily suspend local statistical probabilities, allowing for medically inexplicable remissions. It was a wild, untestable guess at the gears and levers a deity might use to interact with a clockwork universe without breaking it completely."

Supernatural Theory

The general study or systematization of beings, forces, or realms believed to exist outside of and to transcend the natural world. This encompasses theology, demonology, and theories of magic as a cosmic principle. It's a conceptual framework that accepts the supernatural as a primary category and seeks to understand its rules, hierarchies, and influences, rather than reducing it to natural mechanics.
Example: "The grimoire wasn't science; it was a Supernatural Theory. It laid out a coherent cosmology of angels, demons, and elemental spirits, detailing their ranks, seals, and spheres of influence. It was a taxonomy and rulebook for a reality it assumed was fundamentally more than physical, requiring no mechanical explanation for how a spirit moves a cup—it just does, because it's a spirit."

Supernatural Sciences

The academic discipline dedicated to studying things that, by definition, cannot be explained by natural laws, which makes the "science" part a bit tricky. It's the field that investigates miracles, divine interventions, and that one time your grandmother's watch started working again after she prayed to Saint Anthony. Supernatural sciences require a methodology that balances rigorous observation with the acknowledgment that the phenomena being observed might just be magic. The peer review process is complicated when the reviewers keep asking for replication and the universe keeps saying "that was a one-time thing."
Example: "He got a PhD in supernatural sciences by documenting 47 cases of objects disappearing and reappearing in places they couldn't logically be. His dissertation was titled 'The Teleportation of Car Keys: A Study in Domestic Miracle.' His committee was skeptical but couldn't explain where his own keys went during the defense."
