Argument from Reason?
#27
RE: Argument from Reason?
Erm... looks like one of Kalam's cousins. Baseless assertions designed to make a predrawn conclusion inevitable.

Most sceptics are methodological naturalists, I would think. (I'd be interested to know if I'm wrong on that.) So they don't deny the existence of the supernatural on principle, just that if it exists, it is beyond our ability to investigate.

And something supernatural is a far fling from a god, which again isn't someone's favourite storybook character by default. So like the Kalam, it needs non sequiturs to reach the conclusion.

I didn't read it all in detail so apologies if I misinterpreted.
