Wikipedia - Supernatural - Skepticism
One reason why skeptics assert that supernatural forces cannot exist is that anything can be described as "supernatural" and can be demonstrated to be a part of the natural world would have to be classified as be "natural." Although some believers in the supernatural insist that such forces cannot be demonstrated under scientific conditions, skeptics assert that the scientific method is the best tool humans have devised for knowing what is and isn't knowable. If the supernatural is inherently unknowable, then there is no reason to accept its reality.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
