Yes, I don't understand that part of his argument.
Maybe he doesn't equate "reality" with "nature."
What real difference would that make? By your reasoning from earlier, reality cannot be caused by a real entity, and clearly this doesn't make sense.
Unless the OP effectively shows that nature could not have been caused by a natural entity, then he wasn't effectively ruled out naturalism yet.
Besides, one sole natural entity existing only renders nature equal to the entity, and not beyond.

I think I should move on as well.
Good luck to all.
I don't mean this as a dig at you, but maybe a theist forum would be a better fit for what you're after. I don't mind you staying around of course. That's up to you. Either way, good luck to you as well.
