Under a naturalistic worldview, there are no inferences you can make from the physical world that explains something causally prior to the existence of the physical world. It is a feature of the worldview.
Now that's just bullshit. Naturalism isn't confined in any such way. You're putting naturalism in a box of your own making. Besides, the alternatives aren't simply God or naturalism, and no atheist is obligated to subscribe to one of those two options.

Rather than waste time presenting some, I'll simply point out that this is an appeal to ignorance. You don't justify a dichotomy that way. And besides, you already know and have posted against some of the alternatives in prior threads, so you're just being disingenuous.
