Hint:
Wikipedia - Naturalism (philosophy)
| Quote | | In philosophy, naturalism is the "idea or belief that only natural (as opposed to supernatural or spiritual) laws and forces operate in the world." Adherents of naturalism (i.e., naturalists) assert that natural laws are the rules that govern the structure and behavior of the natural universe, that the changing universe at every stage is a product of these laws. |
The only thing you need to do now is explain why your scientific phrase is actually a religious concept. |
You seem to have missed the fact that what you quoted was philosophy, not science.
Or you are being deliberately misleading by leaping from one field to another and thinking no one would notice or care.
There is a well-known (by knowledgable people, which accounts for your ignorance of this matter) separation between 'methodological naturalism' and 'metaphysical naturalism'. Science is based on and requires the former.
This is not up for debate.
Philosophy legitimately grapples with metaphysical issues. I personally believe the case for certain flavors of metaphysical naturalism are more sound and better grounded than any of the alternatives. But that's philosophy, not science.
You are incompetent to do either.
As always in these 'discussion's, N.Wells is right, you are wrong. Insofar as you are coherent at all.
