Thanks for your comment @fredkese , my point is that we ALL can predict the future to some extent in our day to day lives (and further), the way we do this is by using logic, knowledge, observing patterns, extrapolation of data/information, etc.
When it comes to things of the "supernatural" , as the article states, i believe there are forces that are currently beyond our understanding that exist. However, if they exist they must be bound by some rules or have a nature which can be understood, this is where science comes into the equation.
The role science plays is to investigate and define how the particular construct works, to give it some meaning which can be understood.
This can be something that is difficult to understand, no scientist wants to be associated with investigating the "supernatural" as there is "nothing to test/measure" and it brings into question the competence of the scientist, yet when we look at the great number of "theoretical sciences" being investigated.... its the same kind of dynamic between the science and the construct... so whats the difference?
Stigma, that is the difference. If we can convince ourselves and others that what we are investigating is "scientific" then we are no longer scrutinized for lunacy.
