Intro in to the Supernatural

Thanks for even clicking on this, I'll try to make it understanding and short. :)
The term supernatural supranatural pertains to an order of existence beyond the scientifically visible universe. Which means it's just some thing that can't be explained by science. It's some thing that happens that shouldn't but some how in this mess up world it does. Things like religious miracles, spells and curses, divination, the belief that there is an afterlife for the dead, and innumerable others are what's called supernatural.Supernatural beliefs have existed in many cultures throughout human history.
Views on the supernatural
Speculative views on the "supernatural" include.
Distinct from nature- Some events occur according to natural laws, and others occur according to a separate set of principles external to nature. For example God (in most definitions) is considered to be the ultimate creator of the universe and the natural laws. Those who believe in Angels and Spirits generally assert that they are super-natural entities. Some religious people also believe that all things which humans see as natural only act the same way consistently because God wills it so, and that natural laws are an extension of divine will. (Also sorry if you don't belive in God.)
A higher nature- Others assert that God, miracles, or other putative supernatural events are real, verifiable, and part of the laws of nature that we do not yet understand. Or just something that is of a higher power.
A human coping mechanism- Others believe that all events have natural and only natural causes. They believe that human beings ascribe supernatural attributes to purely natural events like lighting, rainbows, floods, origin of life.
Magic- Many people have sought to use both magic and science in hopes of empowering humanity for improvement and to achieve a clearer picture of humanity's place in the cosmos. In some of the earliest Christian art (from the 3rd century) Jesus Christ is portrayed as a bare-faced youth holding a wand as a symbol of power. There may be a persistent link between supernaturalism, the paranormal, and the desire for immortality.
A word for unexplained events- Before the scientific method was used, everything was believed to have a supernatural cause. "Supernatural" today is in this sense merely used as an inspiration for more scientific knowledge tomorrow, through observation and analysis. But even today there is still belived to be supermatural causes.
Another part of a larger nature- This is a view largely held by monists and process theorists. According to this view, the "supernatural" is just a term for parts of nature that modern science and philosophy do not yet properly understand, similar to how sound and lightning used to be mysterious forces to science. Materialist monists believe that the "supernatural" consists of things in the physical universe not yet understood by modern science, while idealist monists reject the concept of "supernatural" on the grounds that they believe "nature" is the non-material. Neutral monists maintain that "nature" and "supernature" are artificial categories as they believe that the material and non-material are both either equally real and simultaneously existent, or illusions that stem from the human mind's interpretation of reality.
