The belief in realities that transcend and can intervene in the natural
world—gods, spirits, miracles, divine agency. Unlike Extranaturalism (which posits an exterior that may not interact), Supernaturalism emphasizes interaction: the supernatural can and does affect natural events. Prayers are answered, miracles occur, spirits intervene, divine will shapes
history. Supernaturalism is the worldview of most theistic religions, many spiritual traditions, and anyone who believes that there is
something beyond nature that cares about and acts within nature. It's the position that the universe is not a closed system, that the boundaries between natural and supernatural are permeable, and that help can come from
outside.

Science can't explain why I survived that accident when I should have died. Supernaturalism says: maybe something beyond nature intervened. Not coincidence, not luck—actual agency from outside the natural order. You
don't have to believe it, but millions do, and their experiences of rescue feel as real as anything
science measures."
