Thank you for the responses and thoughtful comments!
ImagingGeek I admit stochastic is a new word for me. I like it-- also your review and comments, which I agree with and tried to express in similar form in the article.
Rev. King, I too liked your statement, "I like to think of the 'supernatural,' if there is such a thing, simply as the unknown waiting to be made known."
The unknown natural waiting to be known is what I call cryptonatural, which is a word I devised for the purpose, concurrent with a few other writers on the web, who used it in the same sense.
I take it then that everyone who has commented so far more or less agrees with my conclusion-- that natural forces, known or unknown, while possibly not all forces, are sufficient to explain all phenomena, so by the law of parsimony it is unlikely that any other forces are active.
