It's not an unsafe assumption to make. People used to think that gods made the sun shine and the rains fall. Now, we know about nuclear fusion and the water cycle. What you cannot do is demonstrate why it is the better idea to assume that mental operations will always be forever beyond the capacity of physical science to explain.

"Because you said so" is not compelling enough a reason for me to care about dealing with. I'll continue to repeat my answers as long as you insist on saying that supernatural explanations are valid without ever offering a single good reason why anyone should accept it.
