XKCD
While it is true that there is no evidence for any supernatural events, wrap your head around this: if a supernatural event could be tested and replicated by science, it then becomes natural. Does this mean that a truly supernatural event could never exist?
I am of the mindset that, given we have no indication that there are supernatural events, any weird phenomena to be studied would simply find its way into the natural paradigm or get subsumed by some scientific field. The data on this assumption is one-sided.

Good point.
No. It only means it cannot be confirmed and/or explained by science.
Q: If “we” found a UFO, would it actually be a KFO?
You mean if we found an alien spaceship what would we call it? An alien spaceship. A UFO could be anything.
Awesome lol
P.S. There is no scale on that chart. Perhaps 1,0000,000 superpower claims were scientifically refuted, and 1 was confirmed. ;)
It’s a conceptual scale, I guess.
Even if you can’t see the 1 on that scale, it would definitely have made the news!
Good point.
It’s not a good point at all. I suppose you’ve watched ALL the news? (I am frequently amazed by the cool things I learn that were available long ago.) The point is, I’m sure you haven’t heard of everything that is True. Still, that doesn’t make the unknown True things unTrue.
