[and you agreed:]
most of us are not philosophers at all [...] keep asking for evidence rather than one argument piled on top of another.
Here you show that although you are not a philosopher, you are still committed to metaphysical naturalism.
Because when you ask for evidence, you are asking for the kind of thing that science would be able to study. And if it's something that science can't study, you don't consider it to be evidence.
