Opposed to or denying the existence of supernatural phenomena, miracles, or divine intervention.
From anti- (against) + supernatural (beyond natural law), which comes from Latin super- (above) + natura (nature). This term reflects Enlightenment philosophy skepticism of the 1700s onward.
Antisupernatural thinking helped create modern science by insisting everything—even what seems magical—has a natural explanation; yet ironically, quantum physics discovered that reality behaves in genuinely 'magical' ways our ancestors never imagined possible.
