71. Well, many with faith are similarly deprived of natural explanations
for some very interesting questions that they believe can only be answered by appealing to Supernature. I think, for example, of intelligent design proponents who are satisfied to ascribe to the handiwork of a Designer certain organs that they deem "irreducibly complex," but which biologists can show to be reducible to predecessor components after all.

The point is, science progresses as it shows the workings of nature. It leaves questions of Supernature to the theologians and metaphysicians.
