Reductionism ("it's all just chemistry") is a fascinating idea, except that it would destroy the foundation of the knowledge, but it's apparently fairly popular in strict Darwinist writings. It has been discussed lightly here before. My own view is that there is something to this existance that we do not yet know. I have witnessed incontrovertible evidence of the so-called supernatural, and many other people have had similar experiences.

Moving to the speculative, I don't think it is likely that we will ever need the supernatural to explain the day-to-day operational mechanics of the world around us. I think we will always need it as at least as a First Cause, and possibly a great deal more than that relating to various origins.
