It may help to provide a definition of supernatural.

We can use his definition.

If you don't supply one, it may be hard to pin down what you're asking.

If he's already supplied one, ignore this comment.

That's true, and if he answered 'yes', or 'no' we wouldn't know much. But he seems pretty thorough - I'm hoping he'll describe his definition of what 'supernatural' means.

I could have just asked, 'how would you define supernatural', but I felt like seeing how he would respond to the first version. The information I wanted is how he frames the question. :-)
