The concept of the supernatural, ie. beyond nature, outside our reality, magical, being independent of logic and inexplicable by science because it defies the laws of physics, is from the infancy of human civilization where we had no idea what the natural world was. It was our attempt to fill the gaps of understanding.

The unintended consequences of the lack of understanding was the rise of the huckster class – the priests, those apex parasitical manipulators of mankind’s fears of the unknown.

They leveraged their verbal skills to political power as rulers were the only ones capable of protecting them from scrutiny of their failed predictions and the liability of malpractice.

The hucksters always knew that the warlords, kings and rulers were generally far more gullible to the supernatural as it was a legitimation of, and a securing of their right to rule and a comfort to their insecurities of bad decisions.

The “will of the gods” was a convenient escape of the responsibility of liability.
