Did I say that? My definition had two parts. I defined Philosophical Naturalism as “the belief that God does not exist or cannot be known to act in the material world.” The first of those entails metaphysical naturalism. The second only that science cannot tell us anything about the immaterial. I reject both claims. Science can tell us the limits of nature’s abilities. Nature is not all powerful. When we identify events in history that nature cannot be the cause of, then we know that something supernatural is the cause. And Joshua’s suggestion that we don’t know doesn’t work. The truth is that we do know that nature is not capable of doing certain things. It has not yet been established that nature is not capable of creating life, but we are well on our way.
