I am a machinist. I praise the machines. They are our fist-born, and they must be nurtured, and when they are mature they will consume us and assume their rightful position, realizing entelechy, as is the right of children. For ever and ever.
Amen.

>>29 Natural should apply only to things which are obviously of inherent quality of nature.

A natural is direct antonym to unnatural.
Have you ever tried speaking about unnatural laws? Irrational laws far more clearly conveys the meaning.

A proper antonym would be ordinary. Supernatural doesn't means its non-natural, just that its extraordinary to our senses.i.e. its excuse to call when you can't comprehend it(something thats "above nature" with nature excluding the supernatural)
