And what relates the super-super-natural power to the supernatural cause, which is related to the natural world through the super-super-natural power? A super-super-super natural power? Nah, I think I'll simply stick with "natural" causality so long as I have every reason to do so and nothing to suggest otherwise.
Hope you're having a great day!
There is currently no evidence-based scientific explanation for the origin of life. There is, however, a few potential speculations (e.g. RNA world theory, clay hypothesis, self-replication, etc).
Since there is no conclusive evidence for its origin, wouldn't the statement that ("life is only a natural phenomenon") be simply a belief?
How can an atheist claim that their world-view is based on evidence?
Doesn't this, at the very least, makes it simply equally possible for life to be either a natural or a super-natural phenomenon?
Now if someone chooses to reject the possibility of the super-natural because they don't like the idea of a super-natural being, then that's fine. But that can't be called evidence.
