The way I see it is they are accurately portraying how real-life society interprets the paranormal-- we always try to explain it using facts. As a society, most of us believe in some combination of science and faith. If something happens that's similar to something else we've seen, we quickly explain it based upon facts from science. If it's new and unusual, we usually either disregard it as having been a misperception (psychological, illusion, or otherwise), or we explain it through supernatural principles that we agree on, such as "God made that happen".

Personally, I love the degree of realness they've brought to the theories behind the supernatural in this show. It really brings the show to life!
