There has never been a scientific theory that was later replaced with a supernatural explanation, but there is a long and extensive history of things having supernatural explanations that were later replaced with scientific theories. Humanity has yet to provide any rational or logical reason to accept supernatural explanations over scientific explanations.

Said it before and saying it again:

"The eyes are windows to the soul" makes a LOT more sense if you think about how

1. windows are primarily for letting visual information IN for the inhabitants of the house

2. when other people look at your window from outside, they mostly just see their own self projected onto it
