Not one science makes claims that include supernatural, nonphysical, untestable explanations.

You have to presuppose the nonphysical for there to be any such thing as a scientific explanation in the first place, a concept that itself is untestable and thus a sort of super-natural claim, underived from science.

Cordially,
