Love the way you don't over sell any point or misrepresent any of it as being beyond question. Everything can always be questioned except for those who would posit an anything-goes zone called the supernatural and insist it is beyond all doubt based on a few considerations regarding logic. More to the point, they like to present a conundrum they can't make sense of (nothing-from-nothing, infinite regress, pick your favorite) as the undeniable basis for an unearned certainty in a supernatural solution. Hog wash.
Even more than that I like that I agree with the speculative part of what you have to say. I feel that you are absolutely correct regarding the possible broader context of "everything" for which we can probably never have empirical confirmation, trapped as we are within the fallout of a single singularity. I find people who agree with me to be among the brightest people I meet. So congratulations.
Much appreciated kind words, sir.
