No in my example I stated that if I traveled back in time and walked up to a caveman and pulled out a lighter and lit it. From the caveman's primitive mind to him that would seem supernatural, because he had not encountered that technology before.
In my third explanation what i was saying is at this stage. We as the human race "may" be like the Caveman when it comes to thinking about Magic.
When all things being equal the simplest answer must be the correct one. Occam's Razor.
If you cant explain it at all, if Occam's Razor fails that leaves you with 2 choices:
1) there maybe some yet unknown or lost to the ages, forces out there that we can't quantify yet. Its just that we have not advanced to that stage, and we don't understand yet.
2) Its Supernatural.
Case in point when I was 8 I was awoken in the middle of the night for a strange reason I woke up in time to see the head of my great grandmother float across my room from my bed to the door. As a kid with no adult around I thought it was a ghost and got scared. When I told my mother in the morning she said I must have been dreaming and i awoke so fast that my mind carried a bit over. I like to believe it was my great grandmother coming to check on me in my sleep. Even though deep down I know my mother is probably right.
It all boils down to perception and what you want to believe.
i hope i cleared up the confusions.
