...add something with such high Kolmogorov complexity as non-physical minds to their ontology...
Translation:
Words like “supernatural” demand further explanation. That is because words like “supernatural” are vague and using them in your arguments causes your arguments to become opaque. And the validity of opaque arguments is hard to judge. You have to make your arguments more transparent by defining your terms.
Reducing the vagueness of words like “supernatural”, by being more specific, or by naming concrete examples, causes your argument to become more complex (technically the complexity is already comprised in the vagueness of your terms, but ignore that for now). Your argument will be made up of a lot of additional sentences that can be false. The conclusion of an argument that is made up of a lot of statements that can be false is more unlikely to be true. That is because complex arguments can fail in a lot of different ways. You need to support each part of the argument that can be true or false and you can therefore fail to support one or more of its parts, which in turn will render the overall conclusion false.
Consider the above and what it means to accept that the supernatural does exist. If you claim that there is a category of things labeled “supernatural” you will have to define what you mean and consequently support each step of your definition. Can you be more specific, can you name some concrete examples of things that fit into the category you label “supernatural”? And more importantly, are you able to provide argumentative or evidence based support for your category?
An example of argumentative support in favor of the category of things that you call “supernatural” would be able to explain why things that you believe to belong to that category do not fit into any other category, e.g. the category that is labeled “natural”. Consider an arbitrary “natural” element, can you explain what it would take for that element to become “supernatural”?
An example of evidence based support would be able to tell how you anticipate the world to change if the category you label “supernatural” would suddenly cease to exist. Can you explain what caused you to accept the existence of “supernatural” things, what necessitated it?
If everything would be the same without a category labeled “supernatural”, why don’t you abandon it?
