Each of these scenarios offer no empirical evidence.

Yes that’s why, whilst not having an active belief in an entity because of a lack of empirical evidence for its existence. There is also no empirical evidence for the non existence of an entity. There may be an inconsistency in my thinking on this but I would need it to be explained to me.

Well I’m assuming that we are a long way from gathering all the empirical evidence that is available. Our experience of the universe is probably still quite limited. It seems to me the more we learn the more supernatural the universe gets but my analogy for that would be someone looking at a picture through one half closed eye.
‘Quantum Entanglement’ has been substantiated with empirical evidence but it looks pretty supernatural to me.
I think supernatural and beyond natural could be replaced with ‘we haven’t figured it out yet’ or not.
Do you think we are being visited by ‘space aliens’? To my mind they are either science fiction or science but ‘we haven’t figured it out yet’.
