I think Stathis was referring to any third person describable lawful
laws, not relying to actual infinities or magic.
Craig want to add some primary sense, and make that sense contradict
such deterministic law.
That would be silly. Nothing that I have ever proposed contradicts a
single scientific observation, by definition. I am not adding
anything, I am absorbing all disembodied pseudo-substances into
sense: "Laws", "Forces", "Fields", "Wavefunctions",
"Probability"...all of that invisible voodoo is gone. It's all
primordial pansensitivity experiencing its own alienation and re-
constellation.
Looks like a sense-of-the-gap to me.
I consider it the explanation of certain phenomena (mostly with the
help of math) at the level of knowledge AT such time of
explanation. It was different in 2500 BC, in 1000 AD, last year and
today. It is the explanation of figments we develop upon
recognizing VIEWS of phenomena partially absorbed/understood as
parts of a "PHYSICAL World".
It all is adjusted to and within our limited capabilities of mind
(consciousness???)
OK. But we can agree on theories locally and evolve. The discovery
of the universal machine, which includes us (in some precisable
sense) makes possible to study the limited, but also unlimited and
capable of self-transformation, of those machines.
Just because they are unlimited doesn't make them capable of self-
transformation. Arithmetic truths may be mind-bogglingly complex,
but they are quite generic and aesthetically predictable. True
beauty, whether in the form of a supermodel or an art masterpiece,
introduces an experience which is literally unimaginable before it
appears. It is not self-transformation, but revelation of simple,
iconic presentations which relate to nothing but their own brand of
pleasure, and to the history of all beauty and pleasure. It has not
exterior truth which it mediates for, as we have proved with
commercials. Any celebrity can be signify a product that has nothing
to do with their lives. Beauty can be a code or tag for whatever we
attach to it - it has no fixed mathematical affiliation.
My feeling is that you have a limited view on mathematics. You miss
that quality and first person notion can be handled, accepting some
definition. You seem to believe that there can be no third person
account of an axiomatic of the first person notion. That's a category
error. Math must be 3p, but can talk about 1p, and even seems to imply
it, as the arithmetical 1p hypostases should illustrate.

You cannot invoke our ignorance to criticize a theory as that would
impose an ignorance-of-the-gap, and prevent progress.
Science does not exist. What exist is a scientific attitude, and
this is mainly the application of the right to be wrong, and the art
to accept it and move on.
That's why scientists try to be precise, so that we have a chance to
see how wrong they were.
François Englert is a real scientist, in that sense, as he was
sincerely disappointed by the LARC confirmation of the Standard
model showing the Higgs Englert Brout boson. We learn nothing when
we are shown true.

I would not call it 'supernatural', rather: beyond our presently
known/knowable.
Are you so sure that (your?) neurochemistry is "all we can have"?
The demonstration you refer to would only show that our view is
partial and whatever we call consciousness is something different
from what's going on indeed. Explained by physics?
I consider "physix" the ingenious explanation of the figments we
perceive - at the level of such explanatory thinking. It changed
from time-period to time-period and is likely to change further in
the future.

It would be supernatural not if it were inconsistent with known
physics, but with any physics.
